Masorti Judaism is looking for a part time Major Donor Fundraising Lead. You will manage our small but effective major donor programme, including holding relationships with our existing supporters, and building relationships with those who might wish to support us in future.

According to the last person to hold the role “it’s such a warm, nurturing place to work, and the donors are so down-to earth, it really feels like family.”

Masorti Judaism is a community development, leadership training and youth work charity, serving as the umbrella organisation for a network of Jewish communities in London and across the UK. We enable our teams of community leaders and youth workers to support over 6000 community members and young people, including many who would otherwise be isolated by the pandemic. 

The core responsibilities of this role include:

• Managing the major donor programme: ensuring every donor or potential donor is being looked after and given a great experience as well as relevant, hand-picked opportunities to support Masorti Judaism’s work
• Managing 5-10 existing major donors: calling them, setting up meetings with you and other team members, updating them on the impact they’ve had using stories and multimedia, gaining insight and offering further opportunities to support
• Managing 7-10 potential major donors: again setting up meetings, gaining insight on what they like or don’t, matching that to the work we’re doing, and giving them opportunities to support financially and otherwise
• Managing invitations to events: we run at least 2 cultivations events each year, plus an Annual Dinner (probably not in person in 2021!). You don’t have to organise them, but you do need to make sure the right people are invited, and are followed up with for personal meetings
• Financial reporting: you’ll need to use our CRM to keep track of donors’ capacity, propensity to donate and stewardship stage, and report monthly on progress against targets
• Depending on your experience you will mentor or support our CEO and Deputy CEO in their major donor relationships, and there is the opportunity to be involved in our other funding streams, including our annual campaign, legacy fundraising and challenge events. 

Required skills and experience:

• Minimum 2 years’ experience holding relationships with donors giving £3,000+ to a charitable organisation (but potentially you’ll have a lot more)
• Ability to work independently, take initiative and manage your own workload
• First rate oral communication and good writing skills
• Interpersonal and relationship-building skills
• Computer literacy including Microsoft 365
• High level of proficiency working with a CRM (we use Beacon, which is most comparable to Salesforce)
• Experience of the Jewish community or Jewish charities (desirable)

Flexible working, location, salary, benefits

We encourage working flexibly, in fact most of us do – talk to us about what will work for you. Right now, the work is remote with the option to come into the office when necessary. Post-Covid it will combine being based in our office in Finchley Central, London, working remotely, and visiting donors in London and Hertfordshire.

Salary: we’re open to a wide range of experience, so the salary will range from £35,000 - £55,000 FTE depending on your experience and track record – those with 2 years major donor experience at the beginning of that scale, those with 7+ and an excellent track record towards the top.

Benefits: pension with 5% employer’s contribution, 20 days holiday a year plus Jewish and public holidays, life/incapacity insurance and generous maternity/paternity benefits after 1-2 years in post

Training opportunities: we encourage ongoing CPD and will arrange training and mentoring as required.

To apply, please send a CV and covering note or for more information contact us to set up a confidential chat. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.

Exciting Job opportunity for an ambitious self-starter: we are looking for a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager.

The National House Project takes a ground-breaking approach through its commitment to enabling young people leaving care to achieve successful independence. The Project was co-designed with young people and works on cooperative principles through which adults and young people leaving care work together to refurbish properties that become their homes. We would like the successful candidate to be passionate about our work, with an ability to engage the young people our work reaches.

The first Local House Project was set-up in 2015 in Stoke-on-Trent with funding from the Dept for Education (DfE). We are a rapidly growing organisation with plans to develop nationally. We have developed an ambitious strategy to grow our fundraising; independently from the DfE, over the next five years. This role will involve the establishment and development of a new fundraising team (1 WTE initially). As our first fundraiser, the successful candidate will need to support the wider team to understand how their day-to-day roles will help with the growth of fundraising income. Working closely with our CEO, you will play a crucial role in our team, managing and implementing the National House Project’s fundraising strategy and overseeing our fundraising activity.

We are looking for a dynamic and creative, target driven individual who will work with our team to identify, develop and ‘package’ tangible projects to fundraise against, to drive the development of our fundraising. The post holder will bring their experience, skills and enthusiasm and develop exciting new opportunities. Naturally entrepreneurial, you will be a self-starter and strong communicator, with the ability to build effective and long-term relationships both internally and externally. You will have proven experience of inspiring and motivating donors and fundraising partners, enabling them to maximise all fundraising activities and deliver great results.

The post covers a wide remit of fundraising activities including Major Giving, Corporate Supporters and grant giving Trust and Foundations. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with proven experience in securing four to six figure sums from major donor and/or corporate sources.  An understanding and appreciation of the importance of donor cultivation and stewardship is key.

The fundraising team will be supported by our administrative staff, and external fundraising and marketing & communications consultants initially, whilst we seek to embed our newly developed fundraising strategy. As the team grows, this new role offers exciting progression routes involving both line management and hands-on delivery across Major Giving, Corporate supporters and grant giving Trusts & Foundations. 

You will be based at the NHP office in Crewe a minimum of 2 days per week. While your remaining time will be flexible, you will be expected to travel to Local House Projects and attend meetings with donors and partners across the country on a regular basis.

Application is by CV and covering letter. There is no application form. In your letter, please tell us how you meet the person specification which can be found in the attached application pack.

The interview process will take place in two stages, with first stage interviews taking place via zoom on 14th December 2020. Face to face second stage interviews will then take place on 18th December 2020 at our Head Office in Crewe (if government covid-19 guidelines allow). Please make sure you are available on both dates.

We are a small, friendly and successful team and as we move into planning for our 50th birthday in 2021 we need someone to maximise our corporate fundraising potential, build relationships and secure income.

We’re looking for an experienced corporate fundraiser to join our team and take responsibility for charity of the year, employee fundraising and cause related marketing. You’ll need to be ambitious and proactive, enjoy building strong, impactful relationships and like working on your own initiative to develop pipelines and approaches. We need someone who can work effectively with multiple teams both internally and externally and who is able to understand the motivations of supporters who engage with us.

Please apply by returning the completed application form in its original WORD format by Monday 30th November 2020. No CVs please.
