Fundraising & Corporate Partnerships Manager
MCKS Charitable Foundation UK
Full Time | Hybrid | National Role
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000
Help Us Build the Next Phase of Growth
MCKS Charitable Foundation UK is an ambitious and rapidly growing charity supporting schools and communities across the UK through school pantry programmes, breakfast clubs and wider wellbeing initiatives that help children and families experiencing food insecurity.
We currently support around 180 schools nationally, with a long-term vision to expand to 500 schools and beyond.
As part of this exciting growth phase, we are investing in two of the charity’s first full-time paid roles to help build the next stage of MCKS’ fundraising, partnerships, impact and operational infrastructure.
The Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising Manager will work very closely alongside our Schools, Community & Impact Manager, with both roles playing a key part in helping shape the future growth of the charity.
Together, these roles will help strengthen supporter engagement, develop partnerships, improve impact reporting, increase fundraising income and expand the charity’s national reach.
This is a genuinely hands-on opportunity to help build something meaningful from the ground up. Whilst significant growth and development is already underway, the charity is still evolving its infrastructure, systems and processes. We are therefore looking for someone who enjoys working within a growing environment and is excited by the opportunity to help shape and build new ways of working.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to sit behind strategy documents.
We are looking for someone who can think strategically whilst also being willing to roll their sleeves up and deliver — someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, driving activity forward and helping turn ideas into tangible results.
About the Role
Working closely with the charity’s leadership, trustees and Schools, Community & Impact Manager, you will help develop and deliver a diversified fundraising and partnerships strategy that supports the charity’s ambitious growth plans.
This is a varied, fast-paced and hands-on role where you will focus on developing corporate partnerships, securing fundraising income, supporting campaigns and events, and helping strengthen the charity’s fundraising infrastructure for future growth.
Alongside longer-term relationship building, we are keen to see visible fundraising activity, momentum and new opportunities generated within the first year.
We are looking for someone who enjoys making things happen — someone who is proactive, delivery-focused and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with practical implementation within a growing charity environment.
As the charity continues to evolve, this role will also contribute towards shaping systems, processes, partnership approaches and supporter engagement activity from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities
Corporate Partnerships
- Identify and develop partnerships with corporate organisations aligned with the charity’s mission
- Secure financial support from businesses
- Develop partnership proposals and sponsorship opportunities
- Build and manage long-term relationships with corporate partners
- Develop employee engagement and fundraising opportunities with partners
Fundraising & Income Generation
- Identify and secure fundraising opportunities across corporate partnerships, community fundraising, events and trusts
- Support the development and delivery of fundraising campaigns and initiatives
- Help grow and diversify sustainable income streams
- Develop fundraising resources and supporter materials
- Support the planning and delivery of fundraising events and activities
Trusts & Foundations
- Research and apply to relevant grant-making trusts and foundations
- Develop compelling funding applications and proposals
- Manage funder relationships and reporting requirements
Donor Engagement & CRM
- Support the implementation and development of the charity’s fundraising CRM system
- Maintain accurate records of fundraising activity, donors and partnerships
- Track fundraising activity and provide updates to leadership and trustees
- Support supporter engagement and donor stewardship activity
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in fundraising, corporate partnerships, sponsorship or business development
- A confident relationship builder with strong networking and communication skills
- Proactive, organised and delivery-focused
- Comfortable working independently within a growing and evolving charity
- Hands-on and willing to get involved operationally as well as strategically
- Able to manage multiple priorities and work at pace
- Commercially aware with a creative and solution-focused mindset
- Comfortable helping build and improve processes, systems and ways of working
- Passionate about making a genuine difference to children, schools and communities
Experience within the charity sector is welcome but not essential if you have strong partnership development or fundraising experience.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone with energy, initiative and the ability to turn ideas into action.
Why This Role Matters
MCKS Charitable Foundation currently supports around 180 schools across the UK through its school pantry programmes and breakfast clubs.
Through strategic partnerships, fundraising and community engagement, this role will help expand that support to 500+ schools nationally, helping thousands more children and families access essential food support through their schools.
This role will play a direct part in helping the charity strengthen its long-term sustainability, fundraising infrastructure and national reach.
In your first year, the focus will be on creating fundraising momentum, building a strong pipeline of opportunities and securing new income through corporate partnerships, trusts, fundraising initiatives and supporter engagement activity.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role will involve bringing energy, momentum and proactive delivery into the charity’s fundraising activity from the outset.
You will be comfortable taking ownership of opportunities, building relationships, identifying new income streams and helping turn ideas into tangible fundraising activity and partnerships.
Alongside helping develop longer-term fundraising infrastructure and partnerships, we are looking for someone who enjoys making things happen and delivering visible progress within a growing charity environment.
This role would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, working collaboratively and seeing the direct impact of their work on schools, children and families across the UK.
Why Join MCKS?
This is an opportunity to join a charity at a genuinely exciting stage of growth and help shape its future direction.
You will be joining at a pivotal time as MCKS invests in building its fundraising, partnership and impact infrastructure to support long-term national growth.
This role offers the opportunity to:
- Help shape one of the charity’s first dedicated fundraising and partnerships functions
- Work closely alongside the Schools, Community & Impact Manager to help build the charity’s future infrastructure and growth
- Build meaningful corporate and community relationships
- Work closely with senior leadership, trustees and the wider charity team
- Help influence systems, processes and future direction
- Make a visible and measurable impact across schools and communities nationwide
For the right person, this is an opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up and be part of a charity with ambitious plans for growth and long-term impact.
