The Waqf Fund for Muslim Education is a groundbreaking new initiative with a bold vision: to establish the best schools, with the best teachers, providing the best education, producing the next generation of exceptional leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and public servants.
Rooted in the Islamic tradition of Waqf (endowment), this fund will be a perpetual source of investment into the education and future of our children, empowering them to serve humanity with excellence, integrity, and purpose.

Your role will combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery from engaging high-net-worth donors and institutional funders, to inspiring grassroots giving from communities who believe in the transformative power of education.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategy & Planning – Develop and implement a multi-year fundraising strategy aligned with the Fund’s mission and values.

About You
We’re looking for someone with a rare combination of heart and hustle. You will:
- Have a proven track record in fundraising, business development, or sales, ideally in the charity or education sector.
- Understand the values and motivations of Muslim donors, with sensitivity to cultural and faith contexts.
- Be a confident communicator, able to inspire at a boardroom table and from the mosque pulpit.
- Have experience in building a fundraising function from scratch (preferred but not essential).
- Be highly organised, results-driven, and not afraid to roll up your sleeves.
- Share our vision for transforming education and believe deeply in the power of giving for lasting change.
What We Offer
- A chance to be part of a historic, first-of-its-kind initiative in Muslim education.
- The opportunity to shape and grow a pioneering fundraising programme from the ground up.
- Flexible working arrangements and a supportive, mission-driven team.
- A role where your work will leave a lasting legacy for generations.

The Sophie Lancaster Foundation was founded in 2009 after Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend were attacked because of their alternative appearance. Sophie later died from her injuries. The Foundation was created by Sophie’s mother Sylvia to address prejudice against alternative subcultures and to promote understanding and tolerance through education, advocacy and policy work.
Although a small organisation, we have big impact and reach. We advocate for the alternative community through policy and campaigning work and provide support following hate crime. And we also run workshops aimed at reducing discrimination and challenging stereotypes. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Fundraiser to help secure the charity’s financial stability and support its growth.
The role involves creating a fundraising function from the bottom up and then developing and implementing a fundraising strategy. Diverse income streams to be targeted include corporate partnerships, individual donors, grants and foundations, events and digital campaigns. You’ll work closely with the team, CEO and Trustees to ensure fundraising activities align with our clear objectives.
Responsible for creating and delivering a fundraising plan that meets income targets, you’ll identify funding opportunities that align with our mission. This includes researching grants, preparing applications, managing funder relationships and reporting. Building donor engagement through regular giving, legacy programmes and other initiatives will also be part of the role.
Maintaining accurate, GDPR-compliant records of fundraising activities and donor data is essential. You’ll also prepare reports for internal use and external stakeholders.
We’re looking for someone with proven fundraising experience in the nonprofit sector who has a track record of securing income from grants, donors, events or corporate partnerships. Strong written communication skills and the ability to work independently and meet deadlines are important. You’ll relish involvement at every level, whether it be leading meetings with high value funders or thanking supporters for their incredible achievements. A commitment to diversity and inclusion is essential.
Joining us means contributing to a charity focused on challenging prejudice and supporting marginalised groups. You’ll work in a collaborative environment with access to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence the charity’s future.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds, especially from those who have experienced discrimination or come from underrepresented communities. This is an opportunity to support important work promoting social inclusion.
To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter of no more than two pages
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
