Seeking a strong writer with a passion for social change and economic justice international development and fighting inequality to fill a newly created position.  The Institutional Fundraising Manager will help shape a fundraising strategy aligned with PWYP’s global strategy – Vision 2025 – which lays out the roadmap towards a world where everyone benefits from their natural resources.

THE ORGANISATION

Publish What You Pay is the world’s largest network of civil society organisations working to promote transparency, citizen participation and accountability in the oil, gas and mining sectors. We work with communities in more than 40 countries, to ensure that the revenues generated by natural resource exploitation benefit all citizens, rather than a small elite. 

PWYP was established more than fifteen years ago and we have come a long way. From a handful of organisations in 2002, the network has grown to include more than 700 member organisations across the world. We are a founding member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the first global standard for good natural resource governance.  Our advocacy has led to milestones in accountability, such as legislation that requires major extractive companies like BP and Total to publish what they pay to governments for their natural resources. Combined, these successes have led to billions of dollars of extractive revenues to be publicly disclosed, a level of transparency that seemed unachievable just a few years ago.

Our global strategy - Vision 2025 – a people centred agenda for the extractive sector, builds on our success in securing unprecedented levels of transparency from the extractive industry, while placing more emphasis on making sure that transparency leads to broader changes that improve the lives of citizens in resource-rich countries.  It prioritises greater citizen participation in the governance of oil, gas and mineral extraction so that people can exercise their right to take part in decisions that affect them and can hold the powerful to account.  It also aims to connect to international efforts to curb poverty and promote sustainable development, redress inequality and prevent disastrous climate change.
 

PWYP’s annual budget of GBP £3 million is supported by a mix of private foundations and governmental donors, including the Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Luminate, the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DANIDA, and Cordaid. To preserve its independence, PWYP does not accept funding from oil, gas or mining companies. 

We are a small, fun and dynamic team spread across seven countries and we work with some of the most courageous transparency activists in the world. We offer an amazing working environment and the flexibility to work from home as needed with a focus on personal development.

For more information, please visit our website. PWYP members and national coalitions are all autonomous and do their own fundraising. Where opportunities arise, PWYP engages in joint fundraising with members and coalitions, usually for multi-country, regional projects. Further information about PWYP’s joint-fundraising is also available on our website.

THE POSITION

The Fundraising Manager will play a key role in leading proposal conceptualisation and writing to ensure that we capitalize on the new fundraising opportunities presented by the global strategy. In addition, she/he will help us to steward our existing donor relationships through report writing and the development of systems to ensure that we meet donor accountability requirements effectively (e.g. record keeping and tracking systems).

The Fundraising Manager will be charged with helping both the PWYP Secretariat and national PWYP coalitions and members to become better resourced, including through sharing best practice from which to build a dependable, sustainable fundraising operation.

The Fundraising Manager will be a strong conceptual and strategic thinker and an excellent writer who will work closely with colleagues at PWYP to develop accurate, compelling and persuasive funding applications and reports for all areas of PWYP’s work. The ideal candidate will be committed to transparency, accountability and civic participation, and excel in private foundation fundraising, fundraising best practices, and team-building.  A strong plus will be a familiarity with and/or exposure to government grants (e.g. bilaterals such as DFID, SIDA and multilaterals such as the World Bank or the European Union).

Chair of the Board of Trustees - Revised and Re-Advertised

Restored is a small Christian charity making a big impact across the UK and internationally. Restored works to transform relationships and end violence against women. Our vision is that the UK Church recognises and responds effectively, and in line with good practice, to domestic abuse. 

Restored focuses on preventing and ending domestic abuse within the UK church and acting as a catalyst internationally for others to do the same. Restored raises awareness and equips the church through its specialist resources and training. We support survivors of abuse via an online network and through specialised resources. As violence against women is not just a women’s problem, we engage men as part of the solution. 

The issues on which Restored has been advocating have moved centre stage in the media and public attention, with increasing outrage at the levels of sexual and gender based violence across society. Such abuse is found in churches too. Our ground-breaking research on domestic abuse amongst churchgoers in Cumbria found that 25% of respondents had suffered at least one form of domestic abuse in their current relationship (both women and men). In 2019, Restored launched a handbook for survivors of domestic abuse, written by experts in their fields. The handbook is in great demand.

Interested in joining us?

The Board of Trustees is looking for a new Chair to help the organisation to build on its achievements and grow to the next stage. The Chair will help Restored to gain access to churches and open doors for us so we can make an even bigger difference. The Chair, and all of Restored’s trustees, have a personal commitment to the Christian faith and be passionate about seeing violence against women (VAW) ended. Ideally, the Chair will have a demonstrated track record in tackling abuse and in fundraising. We are looking for Chair who is well connected to one or more UK church networks and is able to ‘open doors’ for Restored’s communication, training, and fundraising.  

The Chair must be willing to speak nationally for and on behalf of the charity as well as open doors for fundraising. As a committed Christian your values will shine through in all of who you are and what you do and in your approach to working relationships with others.

Practically, there are three Board meetings per year, plus a full day awayday. Most regular meetings take place in Teddington, Middlesex, where the Restored office is located.

To apply, please send your CV with a covering letter outlining how you fulfil the criteria . The deadline for applications is Feb 7th 2020.

The purpose of the Sigrid Rausing Trust is to promote the values and principles of human rights and freedoms, equality and the rule of law, and to preserve nature from further degradation.

With a current annual budget of £40.85million, the Trust supports advocacy, creativity, research and scholarship to these ends. It funds ten programmes with a focus in five geographical regions across the globe.

We identify new grantees through recommendations and fieldwork. The Trust places particular value on long term, unrestricted funding and only a few of our grants are ear-marked for specific projects. Many of the groups we support have relatively easy access to project funding, but may find it difficult to raise funds to cover their running costs. We believe that donors can best encourage innovation and imagination if they allow grantees to develop their own ideas.

The Trust currently employs 19 staff and it is led by five Executive Trustees, who together with a further three members also comprise an International Board.
