Job description

Transform STEM Education for Africa's Brightest Young Women

The African Gifted Foundation (AGF) exists to develop Africa's future STEM leaders by supporting gifted young women to access world-class education. Our flagship project, the African Science Academy (ASA) in Ghana, is a fully-scholarshipped boarding school focused on mathematics and physics, with students drawn from across Africa.

We're at a pivotal moment. Having grown to circa £1 million in annual income, we're ready to scale our impact. We are embarking on an exciting new initiative to build a new campus and double the size of our school over the next couple of years. We need an exceptional fundraising leader to help us get there.

The Opportunity

As Head of Fundraising, you'll be a key member of our senior leadership team, shaping strategy and driving income growth to transform opportunities for hundreds more young African women in STEM.

In your first year, you'll:

  • Take ownership of our £1m fundraising portfolio and develop a clear growth strategy
  • Deepen relationships with our existing major donors, trusts and corporate partners
  • Identify and secure at least 3-5 significant new funding partnerships
  • Build robust systems for pipeline management, donor stewardship and impact reporting
  • Work closely with our Executive Director and Board to align fundraising with our ambitious expansion plans

Your long-term impact:

  • Lead AGF toward £2m+ annual income over 3 years
  • Diversify our funding base to ensure sustainability
  • Establish AGF as the go-to partner for funders passionate about African girls' STEM education
  • Build a culture of excellence in donor relationships and stewardship

What You'll Do

  • Manage and grow our portfolio of major donors, trusts, foundations and corporate partners
  • Personally cultivate and steward high-value relationships
  • Identify and pursue new funding prospects through research and networking
  • Develop compelling cases for support tailored to different donor segments

Operational Excellence

  • Establish and maintain effective systems for pipeline management, CRM and donor tracking
  • Ensure excellent donor stewardship, reporting and compliance with all funder requirements
  • Create compelling donor materials and impact reports, working collaboratively with communications, programmes and finance teams 
  • Take responsibility for collecting compelling impact data, including through liaising with alumni
  • Build efficient processes that support both immediate delivery and long-term growth

Representation & Advocacy

  • Represent AGF at donor meetings, events and in philanthropic networks (UK and occasionally international)
  • Act as an ambassador for our mission and impact
  • Build AGF's profile within the UK and international education funding community

Who You Are

Essential Experience & Skills

✓ Proven track record of strategic fundraising in the UK charity sector, with demonstrable success in securing five-figure+ gifts from trusts, foundations and major donors

✓ Relationship builder with excellent ability to engage, persuade and steward high-value donors at senior levels (trustees, HNWIs, corporate decision-makers)

✓ Strategic thinker who can develop compelling fundraising strategies and turn them into practical action plans with measurable results

✓ Portfolio manager experienced in managing multiple major donor relationships simultaneously and building a robust pipeline

✓ Excellent communicator in writing and speaking - confident presenting to trustees, corporates and philanthropic audiences

✓ Organized & commercially aware with ability to manage budgets, set targets and deliver against KPIs

✓ Self-starter comfortable working in a lean organization, building processes, and collaborating across teams

✓ Mission-driven with genuine commitment to expanding STEM opportunities for African young women and cultural awareness of the international context

Highly Desirable

  • Experience with international education or development fundraising, especially Africa-focused projects
  • Track record with philanthropic individuals and/or corporate CSR/partnership teams
  • Existing network in UK philanthropic, trust/foundation or corporate giving sectors
  • Experience of USA fundraising
