Fundraising department

Our dynamic fundraising department generated over £4 m in 22/23, and we are now preparing for an ambitious multimillion-pound campaign in support of a ground-breaking cancer centre on the site of the Royal Free Hospital. We pride ourselves on being a supporter focused and agile function, working at the heart of the charity to deliver impact for patients and staff across our hospitals. 

Responsible for attracting and retaining donors, and delivering an outstanding supporter experience, the fundraising department comprises two teams which work closely together to achieve our shared objectives: 

· Our Public Fundraising team harnesses the support and energy of individuals and groups, helping them to give back in the way that works for them. This includes committed giving, in memory support, gifts in wills, and fundraising events and challenges. Our database and supporter care teams sit within Public Fundraising, with their work underpinning and supporting the entire department. 

• Our Philanthropy and Campaigns team builds relationships with individual philanthropists, trusts, foundations, and corporate organisations which give, or have potential to give, £10,000 to the charity each year. They lead major appeal activity for the charity, currently focused on our exciting cancer campaign which is due to launch in 2025. 

This is a unique opportunity for a motivated, proactive and imaginative fundraiser to make real impact and drive growth in the Peak District. The Foundation is at a step change in its development, and as such is investing in growing its staff numbers. The Foundation recruited its first Director in Summer 2023, and we are now seeking a Fundraising Manager to join the Foundation during this exciting period of growth.

You will work as part of a small team to deliver our fundraising strategy – we aim to grow fundraised income to £1 million annually by 2027 to fund vital work in the National Park, including moorland restoration and climate change mitigation, biodiversity and habitat preservation, and work with young people and under-served communities.

You will look after a mixed portfolio of supporters and prospects and take the lead on building a pipeline of potential supporters and building long-term meaningful relationships with grant-making trusts and foundations, corporate partners and individual donors. The role will also include helping to distribute much-needed grants to projects across the park.

We are looking for a talented individual with excellent relationship building skills and a passion for the Park to enhance and maximise the fundraising potential at the Foundation. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated, proactive and imaginative fundraiser to make real impact and drive growth. We are open to individuals looking to transition from other sectors.

This is a full-time post, but we are open to part-time applicants.

Clean water results in better health, increases educational attainment and reduces inequality for women and girls across Malawi.

To support our mission we are recruiting a Communications and Fundraising Officer to help deliver on our ambitious growth plans to reach 2 million people by 2030. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated person with strong communication and interpersonal skills, who can plan and create compelling communications to increase awareness of our work and engage new and existing supporters.

• You will take responsibility for managing and administrating fundraising income, using Salesforce CRM to keep up to date records of donations, keeping donors updated through regular reports and leveraging annual campaigns including the Big Give Christmas Campaign to maximise individual giving donations.
• Maximise the value and duration of donor support through excellent stewardship and relationship management.

Candidate Profile

2. Demonstrable success in fundraising within the charity sector; scoping, prospecting, proposal writing and reporting.

7. High level of computer literacy – Canva, Microsoft Office, Salesforce or similar CRM software
