Philanthropy Manager – Maternity Cover

Are you a passionate and proactive fundraiser eager to play a pivotal role in transforming education opportunities for children through locally powered change? If so, we’d love to hear from you.  

With outstanding relationship-building and stewardship skills, you’ll work collaboratively with the AfriKids team in northern Ghana and the UK to identify and steward our committed and passionate supporters in the UK and internationally.  

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, and part of a small but ambitious fundraising team, you will manage our relationships with many of AfriKids existing and prospective major and mid-level donors, as well as have oversight of our small individual giving and community & events programmes.  

Your role will focus on building existing relationships, developing stewardship plans, identifying and researching prospects and forming proposals. You’ll work closely with our Communications Manager to develop bi-annual appeals to our donors, securing match funding opportunities and developing engaging asks. You’ll also work to build a legacy giving ask, and explore other fundraising opportunities relevant to our target audience.  

You will play a key role in supporting the development of the team’s fundraising strategy, using your experience and knowledge of the fundraising landscape to help us devise an ambitious but sustainable plan to expand and safeguard our work into the future.
