Prospectus is excited to be partnering with The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund to appoint a new Philanthropy Manager on a part time basis.
Nobody is immune from misfortune. When unexpected hardship strikes, like injury or illness, money pressures can quickly pile up. The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund is the leading UK charity for doctors, medical students, and their families. They provide financial help, mental health support and practical advice to people whose lives have been turned upside down by adversity such as illness, injury and bereavement.
The Philanthropy Manager will grow income from the existing warm donor database in order to develop the mid-level and high net worth individuals programmes. You will use your experience to identify, attract and cultivate new donors and will work closely with the Head of Fundraising and Communications to implement donor segmentation, build on supporter stewardship and appeal strategies for major donors. You will also ideally have experience of attending fundraising events; RMBF have a healthy portfolio of stewardship and cultivation events each year to support fundraising asks.
The selected candidate will have the ability to identify potential donors, prioritising workload and developing effective fundraising strategies. You will have excellent written skills with an ability to craft compelling and personalised proposals and will have a track record of delivering income against targets, ideally within a fundraising environment.
