In particular the Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser will look to secure support for these cultural activities which RIBA carries out:

- the National Schools Programme – a high-achieving unique programme partnering architects, educators and schools

- formal and informal learning – in a varied programme for learners of all ages

- exhibitions and events – which break new ground and blend contemporary architectural practice with the best of centuries of architectural history

You will have the written and verbal communication skills to present the RIBA and its causes to potential funders in the best possible light. You will also have experience of fundraising in a cultural environment or for cultural programming, from the initial approach to writing a bid to securing funding to stewardship and reporting.

Whatever stage you are in your career, you will have experience of working as part of a multidisciplinary team, including fundraisers and other culture, heritage and / or learning professionals. Ideally you will have experience of being the sole trusts/foundations fundraiser working on successful trust/foundations funding applications. And of course you will have good IT skills, particularly working with MS office and using this to design and present funding applications, reports and similar communications optimally. In return we offer a great package, great working environment, great colleagues and the chance to really make a difference to the work we can do.
