Lead on all major donor work for this important women's health charity.

This role helps to drive a renewed and strategic energy in philanthropic giving by leading on day to day fundraising from individuals who give up to six figures.

There are already a number of high-profile events in the pipeline for next year, thanks to an engaged trustee board, including a flagship, annual HNWI sport event and a large fundraising dinner led by a high profile celebrity.

A number of smaller events are also planned and the successful candidate will lead on these as well as develop a calendar of events. The successful candidate will need to utilise and develop existing and new relationships, ensuring a strategic engagement plan is in place to allow this income stream to grow and mature.

You will be joining a small but impressive fundraising team, who in 2018 raised c£2.2 million and in 2019 look set to raise £1.8 million. Under the stewardship of a new CEO, this is an exciting time to be joining as they look to grow income from the major donor stream, with the support and guidance of an engaged and dynamic SMT and Trustee board.

The fundraising team is made up of corporate, events and individual giving, two trust fundraisers (which has traditionally been the ‘bread and butter’ of the organisation, working with funding bodies such as Garfield Weston) and one major donor fundraiser (this role). In total, the organisation has 13 core staff members.

As Major Donor Manager you will:

• continue the stewardship of a portfolio of warm funders who give upwards of £5k, working to a target of £400k
• grow a pipeline of mid- and high-level giving (anything up to six figures) as well as securing multi-year giving. This could be by reengaging prospects or engaging cold prospects.
• own the day to day philanthropic giving, including planning and delivering a programme of events
• make this income stream your own, working closely and strategically with senior internal and external stakeholders.

The position would best suit:

• an experienced fundraiser, able to hit the ground running
• someone who will become the bedrock of this income stream by stewarding confidently and 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
• an externally focused relationship builder, generating new income 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 and financial reporting, and upholding fundraising best practice.

Help build a philanthropic programme, covering major donors, trusts and special events.

This Foundation comprises of four schools, which comprises pre-preparatory, preparatory and senior schools, as well an on-site international school. The Foundation educates boys and girls from 3-18, seeking to equip them for life, both now and in the future. As a foundation, they seek to instil a love of learning which will last a lifetime, while balancing this with a readiness to embrace change.

Since the beginning of 2019, the development team has undergone significant change, with the appointment of a dynamic, driven director who is determined to breathe new life into a substantial development portfolio which has been largely dormant. A new chief executive starts in January so this role is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to make a significant impact on strategy and growth, working closely with the senior leadership team.

While the Foundation has successfully raised over £700k in the last financial year, the main focus of this role will be to go ‘back to basics’ and help to build a successful philanthropic programme from the ground up, reengaging and engaging key external stakeholders as well as teaching internal stakeholders the benefit of a strong development programme.

In the recent past, the Foundation has received a one-off gift of £1m, and it is relationships like this that need to be reignited to support a number of capital campaigns and bursaries. Bursaries are one of the key elements of the development programme, as the Foundation looks to increase the number of bursaries offered to children whose families cannot afford the fees, allowing them access to an excellent education and opportunities that otherwise would be unavailable to them.

Job specification

• Lay the strategic foundations of the development programme and grow income from major donors (anyone who can give £10k+), trusts (this income stream is less established) and alumni to ensure successful capital and bursary projects.
• Drive the strategic engagement of funders, maximising historic support, organisational intelligence and key stakeholders.
• Work with both Foundation staff as well as individual school staff to build a ‘best practice’ approach to fundraising, demonstrating the importance of a methodical, professional approach.
• Work with third party agencies to help develop fundraising materials, demonstrating the breadth of Mill Hill’s work and legacy.

Person specification

• An ambitious fundraiser, keen to gain unrivalled experience reinvigorating a lapsed programme of development and grow income in a small, well-organised and established charity.
• A candidate who has experience of growing giving circles, management of alumni and engagement events, creating a strong donor journey.
• An externally focused relationship builder, motivated by generating new income by engaging new funders and developing excellent proposals, focusing on strategy and quality rather than quantity, with an initial focus on historic supporters, progressing to a more new business development focus once established within the Foundation.
• An experienced professional who thrives on autonomy but is also looking for a supportive, positive culture with plenty of opportunities for career growth as well as excellent staff benefits.

In the first instance please send me an up-to-date CV.

Closing date for applications is 16:00 on Friday 10 January.
