Windle International is looking for a highly-skilled and motivated Fundraising Manager to create and lead on the fundraising strategy for the organisation – helping people who have been affected by conflict and marginalisation in East Africa to get a quality education, so that they can contribute to sustainable development and the creation of peaceful societies. 

Windle International (WI) is an international NGO, comprised of independent charitable organisations – our members - based in and operating across East Africa, the UK, the US, and Canada.

What we do

Starting from humble beginnings in 1977 with the establishment of Windle International Kenya in Nairobi by founder Dr Hugh Austin Windle Pilkington, we now operate in Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, the UK, the US, and Canada.

Together, we empower refugees and people affected by conflict to achieve their academic potential, and contribute to sustainable development, by acting as a lead provider of quality education and training. We run education and vocational training programmes, manage Early Childhood Development and Vocational Training Centres, primary and secondary schools, and deliver undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship programmes. Our vision is a world in which every child has the opportunity through education and training to make the most of their potential and contribute to sustainable development.

About the role

Windle International is the umbrella organisation responsible for representing, supporting and coordinating Windle’s work at an international level. Windle is at a crucial time in its development, and we have exciting plans to build on our reputation for being a trusted and well-respected organisation and to increase support for our work. We are seeking a highly-skilled Fundraising Manager who has significant experience of fundraising, including proven track record of writing successful proposals, negotiating, winning and delivering partnerships with, and funds from, charitable trusts and foundations, companies, individuals, and major donors. Experience of delivering successful fundraising campaigns would be an asset.

This is a newly-created and pivotal position, and the successful post-holder will work closely with the recently appointed Communications and Advocacy Officer who is based in Oxford, UK. The role is part of a small, dedicated and friendly team and will have a lot of autonomy. It will involve close collaboration with the leadership and senior staff in our member offices in East Africa and Europe, and the trustees of the organisation. The role will require national (UK) and international travel. We welcome applications from people seeking to work from home, provided they can commit to spending regular time in the office in Oxford.

This role will report to the Fundraising and Campaigns Director and sits at the intersection of campaigning and fundraising. It is responsible for leveraging compelling campaigns to raise donations from members. SumOfUs is member funded, meaning we do not accept money from corporations or governments, and rely mostly on individual contributions to fund our work of holding companies accountable for their actions.

This position is full time and remote, and can be undertaken by anyone between GMT +2 hours (Western Europe / East Africa) and GMT -4 hours (East Coast Americas).

A bit about us

SumOfUs is a global movement of consumers, investors, and workers standing together to hold corporations accountable for their actions and forge a new and sustainable path for our global economy. We are a movement of more than 15 million people, brought together by a global team of 35 campaigners, fundraisers and operations staff. Our purpose is to challenge corporate power everywhere. We hold the biggest corporations in the world (and their political allies) to account by mobilising millions of people to take collective action.

We are aiming to fundamentally reshape the global economy to put people and planet over profit, but we know we can not do it alone. We build partnerships with on-the-ground activists and organisers, and we follow their lead. We innovate, experiment and embrace professional and organizational growth. We invest in people and we invest in how we work, because our vision calls on us to build the most effective, global, diverse, and talented team possible.

We highly value a diverse team and an equitable work environment where every member of our team is set up to thrive.

We expect all team members to take responsibility for co-creating an equitable work community where everyone is able to do impactful, world-changing work. We offer benefits including additional sick days for parents and caregivers, flexible working hours, and professional development stipends. We review our policies and practices for equity frequently. We recruit and encourage people identifying with marginalized communities to apply.

What you will do as part of our team

• Write compelling emails that inspire our members to donate or take action. You will come up with strategic campaign tactics and compelling narratives about corporate power;
• Coordinate with campaigners on the most strategic tactics to win campaigns and build our movement;
• Work directly with fundraising team leader and deputy leader to achieve strategic objectives by leading projects including, but not limited to optimisation and team development;
• Make sure we are updating our best-practices to reflect global (and regional) trends in digital fundraising; and
• Support our team and work with contractors, including project management.

Skills and experiences you will need to bring:

All roles at SumOfUs require you to be:

• Dedicated to building a fairer and more sustainable global economy;
• An excellent communicator in written and spoken English, this is our primary working language;

• Experience managing a large email list (100,000+ subscribers);

The challenge

Vision impairment or blindness affects over 2.2 billion people globally, and at least 1 billion people have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. 89% of visually impaired children and adults live in poor countries. Sight loss is not purely a health issue, it directly affects an individual’s ability to access employment, causes social isolation and family breakdown, and is a significant factor in worsening poverty.

The British Council for Prevention of Blindness (BCPB) funds innovative and pioneering research projects, and part-funds training of eye care professionals from the world’s poorest countries. We focus almost entirely on supporting the few, who will transfer their knowledge and skills in blindness prevention to health care workers and influence governments who are then in the position to pass on the benefits to the many – the so-called ‘cascade effect’.  Our approach helps ensure that our interventions are sustainable and learning is shared widely to achieve the greatest impact.

BCPB is a very small charity making a huge impact on people’s lives. We employ a part-time Charity Manager and a part-time Fundraising Manager, and are now looking for someone dynamic to help us sustain our current work while our Fundraising Manager is on maternity leave.

Summary of Role

We are searching for a results driven person with at least three years fundraising experience and a strong track record, who is a confident communicator, proactive, flexible, comfortable working independently, and can hit the ground running. You will manage relationships with our existing trust and foundation donors, and research new potential trust and foundation supporters, develop and build new relationships with corporate funding partners, identify challenge events and promote them, research and identify new major donors, identify ways to develop legacy income, and maintain and develop our website and social media.  This role is 21 hours per week. You will be home based during Covid-19 with some work in due course at BCPB's office based in Bloomsbury, London WC1.
