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).

SarcoidosisUK is a successful small, high-growth charity that is looking for someone to lead its marketing and fundraising functions. We’ve been growing at between 30 and 50% a year for the last five years and need someone to help continue our growth.

Sarcoidosis is a rare disease. That means we have a small but passionate audience who care deeply about the work we do. Your role is to build relationships with people, either personally or through smart systems and strategies, with the aim of converting a one-off fundraiser into a regular fundraiser, converting a single donation to us being a “favourite charity”. It is about taking each interaction someone has with us and using it to build that relationship that makes us special to them.

Sarcoidosis’s rarity means it has been ignored; however, it impacts around 1 million people worldwide, so a cure is desperately needed. The disease predominately impacts the lungs but can also affect the nerves, skin, heart and joints. For 30% it becomes chronic. Patients with sarcoidosis in two or more organs have a 40% mortality rate.

Currently there isn’t even a treatment – doctors can solely provide medicine for the symptoms. They can do nothing to stop the disease. We’re here to change that by funding ground-breaking research subject to successful marketing and fundraising.

Each piece of research gets us closer to a cure. We’re going to keep going until we have a cure for everyone. Until then we provide support and information to those affected.

The Role

This is an eclectic role that suits someone who enjoys the challenge of multiple projects, of a wide variety, and of rising to the opportunity of learning new skills to achieve their goals.

Responsible for all aspects of our marketing for fundraising. You will be directly responsible for all marketing efforts and will be measured against funds brought in.

• Part of a small team of three people (two full time (including yourself), one part time). This means you can enjoy seeing the direct impact of your work and will have a varied and interesting role. We anticipate hiring a third full time person, focused on operations, in the latter part of 2020.
• Working from the charity’s office at: China Works, 100 Black Prince Road, SE1 7SJ. Between Vauxhall & Waterloo.
• Our main marketing outlets are direct marketing, email newsletters, the website and responding to inbound fundraising inquiries (emails, phone calls & letters). We are also looking for creative marketing fundraising ideas.
• Your role would include managing:
  • Fundraising direct marketing and e-campaigns to all donors.
  • Monthly membership letters.
  • Campaigns to clinicians.
  • Our $100,000 google AdWords account - writing all adverts, managing keyword campaigns and measuring output.
  • Managing our Facebook advertising campaigns.
  • Event/ Fundraiser Event support – identifying and managing event places, providing assistance for volunteer fundraisers, creating custom named t-shirts, creating and sending out fundraising packs.
  • Managing our online shop.
  • Building relationships with those affected and major donors (via direct marketing, online and phone).
  • Identifying, applying to, and managing relationships with grant giving organisations.
  • Managing and writing the fundraising pages of the website.
  • Managing our database of donors and contacts.
  • Writing and distributing press releases.
  • Collating monthly statistics, creating a presentation and presenting to the board of trustees.
  • You will be participating in trustee meetings and therefore have a high-level understanding of the charity. You will have the opportunity to participate in the conversation to present your views & opinions on almost all aspects of running the charity.

Skills

Overview

As our senior projects officer (fundraising), you will collaborate on a diverse range of creative and innovative projects. As part of the business development team, your involvement will range from fundraising, marketing and event planning, to research, relationship cultivation and inspiring others to become champions for the organisation. 

With a substantial focus on projects seeking to raise charitable funds, you will assume responsibility for ensuring the successful delivery of funding plans. You will ensure that target amounts of money are raised to fund our innovative activities and community projects which tackle isolation and loneliness. 

You will proactively engage with local, business, and digital communities to raise awareness of our impact. Your enthusiasm, adaptability and problem-solving approach will encourage others to become active supporters of Carr Gomm – from corporate supporters to local advocates and fellow colleagues – and contribute to growing our overall network and reach.

Your creativity and storytelling will articulate the life-changing impact of our work through a range of media and platforms. You will understand and communicate the significance of this – that people are supported to overcome physical, psychological and societal barriers in order to live the life they want, follow new interests and create new community connections – and hence the importance of our team to make it possible. You will understand that the sooner we’ve achieved our objectives, and even exceeded our targets, the sooner we’ll be changing people’s lives and enhancing Carr Gomm.

About Carr Gomm

Carr Gomm is a leading Scottish social care and community development charity (SC033491). We currently support about 2,000 people every day across Scotland to live their lives safely and well according to their choices, whilst making plans to achieve their hopes and dreams for tomorrow.

Our support is person-centred and strongly reflects our values of choice, control, respect, interdependence, and openness and honesty, ensuring that people can lead full and positive lives as active citizens.

A core part of our work is to fundraise in order to fill the gaps in society; to provide support where no one else is. Specifically, this work focuses on tackling the crippling issues of loneliness and isolation by bringing people together through a wide variety of community projects and activities. Last year, we fundraised over £800,000 to invest in this work, and are now looking to expand further and make an even bigger difference across Scotland.  

Your Responsibilities

Reporting to the business development manager, you will be working on a wide variety of projects, some of which will require you to take a lead role and work closely with our projects officers. Taking particular responsibility for fundraising projects, you will:

• co-create, deliver and review fundraising action plans, which detail the targets and outcomes we’re aiming to achieve
• source, submit and monitor grant applications, in liaison with others
• maintain accurate databases and financial monitoring to inform decision making
• proactively develop and expand our networks and connections
• source, create and write impact stories and social media content, utilising a range of media
• contribute to the research and development of innovative projects and activities

This outline is by no means exhaustive; rather it gives a flavour of the responsibilities undertaken by a senior projects officer and the wider team. The work of the business development team is varied, meaning your daily duties will consist of a fine balance between routine tasks and evolving projects.  We do not work alone, but interdependently in a cross-functional team, so there will always be colleagues available to support you, and equally requiring your help to meet our team objectives.

What makes a great senior projects officer (fundraising)?

Successful senior projects officers (fundraising) come from different backgrounds and have a range of work and life experiences.
