Initiatives of Change International is seeking a Development Officer to play a critical role in finding resources for our new International Trustbuilding Program. We are looking for someone with the relevant skills but above all someone who is committed to IofC’s mission and values.

Registered in Switzerland, Initiatives of Change International (IofCI) is a non-profit membership organization active in 44 countries, with a near century-long track record of spiritual formation and transformation, dialogue, peacebuilding and trustbuilding worldwide. Its tagline is “building trust across the world’s divides.” A priority of IofCI today is the design, development, funding and launch of an international Trustbuilding Program (TBP) marshalling the knowhow within the movement and offering it to affiliate national teams through a focused program to help them address critical divides in their respective societies. The program, co-created and conducted in partnership with the Fetzer Institute of Kalamazoo, Michigan, will be tested in collaboration with local teams in three pilot countries – Kenya, Canada, and France – in 2019-2020, and conducted in collaboration with local teams in 9-15 additional countries over the three years 2020-2023.

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Development Officer (DO) to work under contract with IofCI and play a pivotal catalytic role in helping IofCI prepare for the next generation of its work. This individual will be responsible for helping to devise and execute the fundraising strategy being developed to support the international TBP, with the added goal of laying the groundwork for long-term institutional sustainability. The DO will work closely with the Program Manager, the Executive Director, and the Program Steering Group to reach both these goals. The DO will play a major role in leading the transition from an essentially internally funded organization, to one that obtains substantial resources from the global philanthropic marketplace. Progress is already being made: $2 million has been secured to leverage the remaining $2.1 million needed to fulfil the TBP over the next four years. 

Long term, the DO is expected to help develop strategies for how IofCI can better serve its global network and further IofC’s work and standing in the world. The DO will cultivate long-term partnerships with foundations, corporations, individual donors, and government entities as appropriate. As IofC lacks a deep tradition of professional/institutional fundraising, the person in this position will be expected to work with IofCI staff to build a fundraising culture and the systems needed to support a successful fundraising program. This will entail training and supporting some IofCI staff and national affiliate teams in what is required to raise external funds successfully. The DO is expected to work with the broader network to develop protocols for collaboration and knowledge-sharing with national teams to avoid conflicts and to develop leads in ways that benefit both the national teams and IofCI. If the DO does the job well and succeeds in building an institutional fundraising program, the job could become a full-time IofCI staff position with benefits and a future.

Work is both office and/ or home-based / virtual depending where the candidate is based.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work with leadership to revise and refine the initial development planning and strategy for the TBP and IofCI;
• Identify and research funding prospects to support the TBP and build up IofCI’s organizational infrastructure;
• Develop individual strategies for connecting with, cultivating, and soliciting prospects;
• Develop a moves management system to track touches, guide cultivation, and help us move strategically to convert prospects into donors;
• Work closely with the Program Steering Group to harness their knowledge and contacts, and to involve them in identifying, cultivating, and soliciting prospects as appropriate;
• Work with the Program Manager, the Executive Director, and the Program Steering Group to ensure that evaluation of the TBP is yielding the information needed for fundraising; 
• Work with the Executive Director, the Program Manager, the Communications Director, and the Program Steering Group to develop attractive, compelling communications that support the development and fundraising strategy of IofC International;
• Work with affiliated national teams to help them develop local fundraising capacity that works in coordination with IofCI;
• Some travel to meet with affiliated national teams and donors.

REQUIRED PERSONAL QUALITIES AND SKILLS

Candidates should demonstrate the following qualities and skills:

• Commitment to the core principles and vision of IofC, including spiritual grounding;
• Familiarity with IofC or comparable work (desirable);
• At least a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field;
• Strong communication and presentation skills (in English); and a commitment to open two-way communication with colleagues and volunteer leaders;
• Demonstrated leadership and people skills;
• Proven success as a development professional in the international arena, with independent responsibility for a portfolio of donors; or comparable experience in corporate sales or advocacy;
• Extensive experience of proposal development and writing in the international arena;
• Demonstrated skill in cultivation, networking, solicitation, and stewardship of a broad array of donors, including foundations, individuals, businesses, and government entities;
• Research and analytical skills;
• Problem-solving skills;
• Resilience and perseverance;
• Clear understanding of the ethics and accountability required in the fundraising field;

Help revitalise the philanthropy stream at this well recognised charity by leading on major donor giving.

It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the Philanthropy team of this health/medical charity, as they look to expand the team with the support and guidance of a relatively new CEO and Director of Finance and an engaged and dynamic SMT and Trustee board.

This is a new role, helping to drive a renewed energy in philanthropic giving by leading on day to day fundraising from individuals who give between £5,000 and £1m, leaving the Head of Philanthropy and Special Events able to step away from BAU to focus on strategic direction.

Already this calendar year, the team has raised £400,000. With a large event just completed, the charity is looking for someone to engage and develop relationships that are in their infancy following this event, as well as manage a portfolio that is strong but needs to be re-engaged.

You will be joining a team of three – Head of Philanthropy, Team Assistant and Events Officer. While there is currently no line management for this role, within six months you could be expected to recruit and manage a junior member of staff as well as help mentor a prospect researcher, so there is huge room for professional growth. The successful candidate will need to be a safe, second pair of hands, allowing the Head of Philanthropy and Special Events to focus on wider strategy and team growth.

A Philanthropy Manager is needed to help build and steer a long term, sustainable philanthropy programme by:

• continuing the stewardship of a portfolio of recently revived warm funders who give upwards of £5k, working to a target of £600k
• growing their pipeline of mid-level and high level giving (anything up to six/seven-figure giving) as well as securing multi-year/high value giving
• owning the day to day philanthropic giving in this re-energised programme, making it their own, working closely and strategically with senior internal stakeholders and external stakeholders.

The position would best suit:

• an experienced fundraiser able to hit the ground running, becoming the bedrock of this income stream by stewarding confidently as well as proactively looking for new, untapped areas of development (30-40% stewardship with a large amount of business development)
• a creative fundraiser, well versed in securing six-figure gifts and up
• an externally focused relationship builder, motivated by engaging new funders and developing excellent proposals whilst working to develop an already robust portfolio of fundraising collateral
• a proactive and confident team player, able to shift focus from complex relationships and asks to supporting the wider fundraising team, undertaking administrative tasks, completing financial reports and upholding fundraising best practice.
