Corporate fundraising jobs

About the role:

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up and see the direct impact of your work on people experiencing homelessness across London. As our first Philanthropy and Major Gifts Officer, you will work closely with the Assistant Director of Fundraising to bring our new strategy to life, shaping how we engage major donors and grow a powerful community of supporters who are motivated to stand alongside Single Homeless Project (SHP) and our clients. Every relationship you build and every gift you secure will help create real opportunities for our clients to move away from homelessness and towards safety, stability and independence.

You will take the lead in developing and managing meaningful relationships with major donors, creating thoughtful and engaging journeys that bring them closer to our work and the difference it makes day to day. Alongside nurturing existing supporters, you will identify and secure new funding opportunities, building a strong and sustainable pipeline of donors and driving forward this new area of income generation within the team. Working collaboratively across SHP, you will connect philanthropists with our services in a way that feels personal, impactful and rooted in the realities of our work, while contributing to the wider fundraising targets that enable us to keep delivering life changing support.

Hybrid working for us means a mix of in office working in Kings Cross and home working. Currently two days in the office (usually Wednesday and Friday) with the rest from home. 

About you:

• You have experience building relationships with donors, supporters or partners, and know how to turn those relationships into meaningful income or long term support.
• You’re a confident communicator, able to bring a cause to life through conversations and written content that genuinely connects people to impact.
• You’re proactive and driven, comfortable spotting opportunities, growing a pipeline and following through to secure results.
• You’re organised and detail focused, able to manage multiple relationships and keep accurate records using CRM or similar systems.
• You’re motivated by purpose and excited by the chance to help shape and grow a new area of fundraising that directly supports people experiencing homelessness in London.

About us:

We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.

In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up. 

We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own. 

Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable. 

We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

At More Partnership, we are fundraising consultants – and more.

You will combine strategic insight with a practical, grounded approach, communicating complex ideas with clarity and confidence while remaining collaborative, curious and values-led in the way you work.

About The Role
Dementia affects every community, and meaningful change happens when people feel connected to a cause and empowered to support it.
At Alzheimer’s Society, fundraising plays a vital role in making our work possible. From local community events to corporate partnerships and individual giving, every relationship helps us continue supporting people affected by dementia.
As Regional Fundraiser for Surrey, you will help build and strengthen those relationships. You will work across your local area to engage supporters, develop new opportunities and ensure people feel confident and valued in the difference they are making.
You will be part of a collaborative fundraising team, working closely with colleagues across the region. The role combines relationship building, planning and delivery, with a strong focus on community presence and long-term engagement.
What you’ll do
You will help grow sustainable fundraising across Surrey by building strong, trusted relationships and supporting people to get involved in ways that work for them.
Your work will include both proactive relationship building and ongoing stewardship. Some days will focus on meeting supporters and exploring new opportunities, while others will involve planning, coordination and reviewing progress with colleagues.
You will also play a visible role in your local area, representing Alzheimer’s Society at community events and helping people understand the impact of their support.
You can expect to:

- Develop and deliver fundraising activity across Surrey, working towards agreed income and engagement goals with support and guidance
- Build and maintain relationships with corporate partners, community groups and individual supporters, ensuring they feel valued and connected to impact
- Identify and develop new fundraising opportunities through networking, conversation and community engagement
- Create accessible and engaging ways for people to get involved in fundraising, adapting your approach to different audiences
- Work closely with colleagues and volunteers across teams to deliver joined up activity and shared goals
- Monitor activity and income performance, using insight to support planning and decision making
- Represent Alzheimer’s Society at events and in community settings, including occasional evenings and weekends

This role involves travel across Surrey and occasionally wider areas in the region. Some evening and weekend work will be required, usually linked to events and community activity, and this will be planned in advance wherever possible.
About you
You are someone who builds trust easily, enjoys working with people and is motivated by making a difference in your local community.

- Experience of building positive relationships with people, groups or organisations over time
- Confidence working with basic financial information such as targets or income, with support where needed
- Ability to spot opportunities and help develop them into practical and achievable plans
- Understanding of or experience working with volunteers, or appreciation of their role
- A collaborative approach, working well with colleagues and contributing to shared goals
- Clear and respectful communication, with the ability to adapt your approach to different people and situations

You will also bring a willingness to learn, a thoughtful approach to relationship building and an interest in helping people feel connected to a cause that matters to them.
We’d like to invite you to join our upcoming webinar on Tuesday 9th June - 12:15 - 13:15

It’s a great chance to hear more about the role, meet the Hiring Manager, and ask any questions you may have.

About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.  

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. 

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people. 

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply.  Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Giving back to you

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.
