The role

This role brings together community fundraising, supporter engagement and regional relationship management. As a Community Fundraising Manager you'll work closely with individuals, volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, helping them feel confident, valued and motivated to support the charity’s work.

While the Community Fundraising Manager will be aligned to either North London or Bristol as a primary base, the focus is very much on community presence, partnership building and stewardship, rather than being office-bound.

Key elements of the role include:

• Developing and growing a portfolio of community and local corporate supporters
• Supporting and motivating volunteer fundraisers, providing excellent stewardship throughout their journey
• Identifying new opportunities within local communities, networks and organisations
• Delivering and supporting a programme of community-led fundraising activity and events
• Building long-term relationships that encourage repeat support and advocacy
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to share insight, ideas and best practice

About you

This role would suit someone who is confident, empathetic and highly organised, with a genuine belief in the power of community.

You’ll likely bring:

• Experience in community, regional or relationship-based fundraising
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences
• A proactive and creative approach to generating and developing fundraising opportunities
• Confidence managing multiple relationships and priorities at once
• Experience using a CRM or fundraising database
• A flexible approach, with occasional out-of-hours or event work

What’s on offer

• Salary of £40,000 per annum
• Hybrid working with two days per week in the office
• Choice of North London or Bristol as your main base
• A supportive, values-led working culture
• The opportunity to play a visible role in strengthening community engagement and supporter relationships

This is an exciting opportunity for a fundraiser who believes that strong communities create lasting change, and who wants a role with real autonomy, variety and purpose.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and oppose all forms of unlawful discrimination. We recruit fairly, transparently and in line with the Equality Act 2010, welcoming candidates from all backgrounds.

This represents an incredible opportunity for a hands on delivery role to be involved in a very active, transformational education charity. You will be looking for a challenging and demanding role on a freelance basis. *Applicants must be UK based.*

About Us:

The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation, established in June 2020 (Charity Number 1191471), was set up to enable talented economically disadvantaged Black British students to attend UK universities by providing full scholarships. Black British students are found to be under-represented at many of our universities, and individuals from affluent areas are five times more likely than those from deprived areas to attend a high-tariff university. The Cowrie Scholarship Foundation aims to remove one fundamental obstacle – the financial cost of university education.

The Foundation has already allocated 70 scholarships and maintains a busy annual schedule of activity across partner and scholarship management; fundraising, communications and governance. The charity is led by the founder, Professor Richard Oreffo, and the Trustees, with the support of a freelance Project Manager. 

Job Description

An experienced Project Assistant role is offered on a consultancy (freelance contract, applicants must be self-employed) basis, initially on a 6 month contract with opportunity to extend a further 6 months; possible renewal to follow.
