Charity People is excited to be partnering with Future Youth Zone to help find a Head of Fundraising to lead the team for an 11-month maternity cover contract.

Barking and Dagenham Youth Zone, named "Future" by local young people, was the first Youth Zone in London opened by the national charity, OnSide in Spring 2019.

Future, like all OnSide Youth Zones, exists to give young people, particularly those who are disadvantaged, somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to. Each Youth Zone is open 7 days a week, at weekends and during school holidays, with the purpose of supporting young people to become happy, healthy and successful adults.

Since opening, over 7,000 young people have signed up as members. During lockdown, Future further embedded itself in the community as a partner of Barking & Dagenham's BD Can emergency response programme where we delivered food and medicine parcels to vulnerable residents.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join the growing team at Future, with significant investment in fundraising, and a strategic drive towards diversifying income streams and further developing unrestricted philanthropic support. Future's funding comes predominantly from Founder Patrons, a mix of philanthropists, foundations and companies giving high value gifts. As Head of Fundraising you will be responsible for stewarding and growing this pool of funding partners.

About you

You are an ambitious and creative relationship fundraiser with a passion for youth development, inclusion and diversity. You are a natural people person with energy and drive that will match that of the young people and team at Future. You are an experienced line manager, with a track record of developing and empowering a small team. With a strategic approach to fundraising you will be able to evidence making successful face-to-face funding asks for five and six figures, from major donors and corporate partners. You will also have a good understanding of marketing, digital fundraising and community engagement.

Please apply with a copy of your CV for lots more detail on this amazing opportunity to our senior consultant, Philippa Bryant: [email protected]

Deadline: 9am on 23 July

First interview: w/c 27 July and final round w/c 3 August

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found.

Future Youth Zone is particularly interested in applicants from BAME or other underrepresented backgrounds to reflect the diversity of the community they serve.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

Prospectus is excited to be working exclusively with a new organisation focused on driving philanthropic giving to organisations, causes, projects and campaigns that are trying to prevent a climate catastrophe. The sector is currently grossly under-funded despite the harm already created from climate change and the risks further global heating brings to nature and communities alike.

We are helping them recruit for a Climate Advocacy and Philanthropy Manager to work full or part time on a three-year contract paying between £30,000 to £40,000 per annum depending on years of relevant experience. They are looking for a candidate to ideally start at the beginning of September to be based in their Islington office with frequent travel to meetings in central London. They're open to some home working and flexible hours.

This role will involve working in a small team to encourage the UK's wealthiest families and individuals to integrate critical environmental threats into their philanthropy and dedicate resources to funding the individuals and charities working on climate justice and climate mitigation as well as new voices entering the space. You will achieve this by building a network of trusted advisors, senior volunteers, high net worth individuals and others to inform, persuade and inspire donors to give to a variety of climate positive recipients.

We envisage this person being either:

• Someone qualified in environmental scientist who has experience of communicating on issues around climate change
• An experienced fundraiser or someone who has worked with wealthy families in a private sector role with interest in and knowledge of climate justice and climate change
• Someone from a marketing, campaigning or advocacy background with a passion for this space
• a management consultant or someone used to managing numerous client projects who cares deeply about these issues
• A corporate or government sustainability expert who has had to make the case for environmental investment in their own organisations.

If you are not from any of those professional backgrounds but feel you would be a good fit for the role, please do apply to find out more.

The new organisation understand that environmental emergencies disproportionately impact on poorer, marginalised and minoritized communities, whether that be in the global south or in the UK and yet the environmental NGO sector is disproportionately made up of white and privileged boards and staff teams. As an inclusive employer they hope they will be able to attract applicants from a range of backgrounds for this exciting role.

At Prospectus we invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application. In order to apply please submit your CV in the first instance and begin to prepare your supporting statement. Should your experience be suitable, we will send you the full job description and will arrange for a call and/or meeting to brief you on the role. You'll then have all the information you need to formally apply. We are looking forward to speaking with you soon.

Offering flexibility and the chance to lead a small philanthropy team, we're looking for a visionary Senior Development Manager to join an ambitious higher education institution in Yorkshire. Having gone through a period of investment and growth pre-COVID19 (including a recently refreshed case for support), the organisation is keen to maintain its focus, commitment and ambition for philanthropy.

With oversight of major gifts from individuals, trusts and foundations and legacy giving, you'll play a key role in the Alumni Engagement and Development team's strategic planning and decision-making. With a promising, but relatively immature pipeline, you'll need to be a proven senior philanthropy specialist in your own right capable of stewarding six figure gifts from cold prospects.

Who are you?
You're an empowering and skilled leader with the ability to nurture and galvanize a team of experienced and aspirational fundraisers. Your expert knowledge, gravitas and influencing skills will enable the continued development of organisation-wide confidence and ambition for philanthropic giving, embedding a culture of philanthropy that opens doors and creates opportunities to innovate.

You'll work across an interesting and varied project landscape focused on Advanced Healthcare including dementia care and cancer research, as well as progressing the social mobility agenda through scholarships.

To apply, you'll already be an experienced philanthropy specialist with six figure donations as part of your track record. If you don't currently have team leadership experience, you'll have the expert knowledge to lead by example and be keen to progress in your first team management role.

Excellent benefits include 25 days' holiday and 13 statutory and customary days, flexible working, a nursery and fitness centre, generous employer and contribution pension schemes, a reward scheme for shopping discounts, and a salary sacrifice scheme to assist you in purchasing items like childcare vouchers or a bicycle for commuting.
