Background

The WHO Foundation (WHOF) is an independent grant-making entity, based in Geneva, that sets out to protect the health and well-being of everyone in every part of the world, working alongside the World Health Organization (WHO) and the global health community.

The Foundation strives to complement and strengthen WHO’s efforts by acting as a platform for new types of public-private engagement, while protecting WHO’s neutrality and independence as the world’s leading international health authority. To do so, it aims to speak directly to donors in a language they understand, establishing collaborations that increase visibility and engagement with High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI), launching innovative campaigns to the general public and engaging in an array of partnerships with corporate actors.

The WHO Foundation is seeking to appoint a Senior Fundraising Consultant, specialized in major donors' relations to help grow and scale the WHO Foundation.

Purpose of Role

The role of the Senior Consultant is to source and onboard major donors to advance the Foundation’s fundraising and awareness raising efforts, and to oversee the implementation and refinement of the organization’s interim fundraising strategy.

The WHO Foundation aims to raise $1 billion over the next 3 years. This role is critical to ensuring the organization achieves its target including that of generating $40 million in seed-funding through sourcing and onboarding Founders Circle members contributing to the core cost of the Foundation over the next 3 years.

Management

The Senior Consultant will report to the CEO of the WHO Foundation as well as the interim COO of the WHO Foundation by the time the Director of Development is recruited.  The senior Consultant will work in close collaboration with appointed external service providers (fundraising firm, communication firm, etc.). He/she will work for an initial period of six months, with the possibility to extend if jointly agreed by the CEO. The position will be remote initially, working in close coordination with the WHO Foundation teams based in Geneva and Paris.

Do you want to use your skills to make a real difference in the world? Through quality fundraising, Chell Perkins Ltd exists to make a very real and lasting impact on the third sector. We want to identify, partner with and nurture the next generation of potential fundraisers to see all charities have access to bespoke, exceptional and affordable fundraising support.

Personally, Stuart and I have been blessed by the charities we have worked with. They offered us training, sharpened our fundraising skills, challenged us, and invested in our ability to fundraise well: releasing us to help more individuals with deeper support. 

Chell Perkins Ltd wishes to pay this kindness forwards through our Junior Fundraising Training Programme. 

Break into fundraising and make a difference:

If you want to use your skills to help charities, this five year training programme will teach you everything you need to know about fundraising, whilst giving you considerable on-the job training and support. 

How it works:

Year 1 - Fundraising Officer: You’ll be inducted into an immersive training programme, featuring online/classroom training, self study and key textbooks. There is plenty of practical experience with trusts and foundations, event, corporate, individual donor and major donor fundraising. This is all aimed to equip you for your Certificate in Fundraising in year two.

Year 2 - Fundraising Consultant: This year you will have the opportunity to complete IOF's Certificate in Fundraising.  This is the industry recognised qualification for frontline fundraisers, fully funded by Chell Perkins Ltd. It provides the theory and principles behind successful fundraising and practical skills to make an immediate impact on fundraising results. With your increased experience and knowledge, you will find yourself taking the lead more with our client’s trust and foundation, direct mail, capital and event fundraising. 

Year 3/4 - Senior Consultant: By year three, you will have experienced fundraising across a diverse range of income streams. This learned experience will now see you assisting Chell Perkins Ltd with strategy formation and consultation work throughout the third sector. We will offer some candidates the chance at this stage for our Senior Consultants to enter into a Level 7 qualification either with the Institute of Fundraising or the University of Kent.

Year 5 - Principle Consultant/Team Leader: As the scheme progresses and you continue to sharpen your fundraising toolkit, you will be given the choice of two directions: working towards being a Principal Consultant or becoming a Team Leader. 

Team Leader - This role will see you managing your own team of fundraisers within a speciality or sector that suits you best. You will be responsible for ensuring all output from your team is exceptional quality, bringing the best outcomes for the charities we work for. You will help to mentor and train some of the newer members of staff on your team.

Principle Consultant - You will use your skills to now lead and partner with your own charity clients. In working with charities throughout the last 4 to 5 years, you will have built relationships and grown your capacity to support organisations in a variety of ways. Chell Perkins Ltd will support you as you transform charities through professional, passionate and pro-active fundraising.

Both roles will be instrumental to ensure that Chell Perkins Ltd continues to support charities and make their Vision A Reality.

Why ChellPerkins?

At the end of this scheme you will be a fundraising expert, trained in every aspect of the job and capable of talking to clients and organisations of all shapes and sizes. But there’s much more to the scheme than the nuts and bolts. Although we are biased (of course) the Chell Perkins team are a great bunch of people to work with. We really care about your future, our clients and the world we all share. We want you to become part of the family, enjoying a sometimes-chaotic, always-caring and fully-empowering work culture that is aimed at helping you realise your own potential.

Client mix

Candidates should be aware that at present 70% of our clients come from a Christian background (either they are churches or Christian charities). While it is not an occupational requirement to be a Christian, candidates must be happy to write for a faith-based audience.

Oxfordshire Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre (OSARCC) is looking for a Development Manager to help develop the next stage of our growth. The ideal candidate will be a dynamic, motivated leader who has strong capabilities in resource and people management, experience of fundraising, excellent communications and project management skills, and a desire to contribute to a growing organisation working within a collective, feminist ethos.

We have an ambitious strategic plan to continue to innovate and develop our service provision, particularly to reach survivors currently not accessing our services.
