After a highly successful 20/21, the NSPCC’s Philanthropy team is keen to maintain the positive momentum it has established and is looking for a London based Philanthropy Manager to help raise the funds needed to continue the NSPCC’s fight for every childhood.

The Philanthropy team is part of the NSPCC’s Major Donors department.

The Philanthropy Manager post works at the heart of a strong and friendly team, collaborating closely with colleagues across different fundraising functions and at all levels of the organisation.  We have a strong service presence in London and there will be opportunities to meet our service delivery colleagues and learn more about the incredible programmes we deliver, ensuring you’re fully immersed in the issues and able to inspire both new and prospective donors to give.

As well as having a portfolio of London based donors, this post would also be responsible for building new relationships outside of London, across the East of England.

An ideal position for an energetic deal-maker, you will be responsible for existing high value relationships but you will also have a focus on new business, generating new prospects, building lasting relationships and making asks for substantial financial gifts.

You will…

• have great people skills and the credibility to operate within our audience stream.
• have the “get up and go” to work in a new business environment.
• be an excellent manager of professional relationships, proactive, self-motivated and organised.
• be comfortable with targets and able to deal with competing priorities.
• enjoy working collaboratively with other colleagues, teams and departments.
• have first class written skills, able to tell our story in a compelling way.
• have the ability and willingness to travel around London for meetings.
• and of course, share our passion for keeping children safe.

Above all, you will relish getting out, identifying new prospects and asking them to support the NSPCC.

If you’ve worked with high value donors or clients, have generated new business or can demonstrate great account management, we’d welcome your application.

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.

Sebastian's Action Trust is a registered charity providing specialist respite holidays and practical and emotional support to seriously-ill children and their families.  We walk alongside families of life-limited and seriously-ill children from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

The charity was formed in 2004 to fulfil the last wish of nine-year-old Sebastian Gates to build a holiday home that would give other children a chance to enjoy precious time with their families.  Our respite holiday house, The Bluebells, opened in July 2011and is now welcoming families with very sick children from all over the country. Although The Bluebells remains at the core of our charitable activity, since 2004 we have developed an outreach service across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey, which is supported by additional specialists in childcare, finance and welfare, wellbeing and bereavement. Ever increasing demand for our services has led us to replicate our model in Berkshire, where we are currently completing a second outreach/respite centre, called The Woodlands.

We are also committed to a programme of practical support, helping families in the community in a variety of different ways; including transportation to and from specialist hospitals, equipment provision, well-being therapies for parents and support for siblings.

We are looking for an experienced Major Donor Manager!

We are looking for someone to develop a major giving programme which will encourage and enable major donors to invest in our charity in a way which brings them great satisfaction and makes a very real difference to the lives of our beneficiaries.

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

ShareAction’s major donor programme has grown significantly over the last three years despite lacking dedicated resource, and has enormous amounts of promise thanks to a warm prospect pipeline.

We are now seeking to employ a Major Donor Manager to develop our portfolio of high value givers, providing excellent relationship management to donors and prospects, growing the number of supporters within our ‘Ambassadors’ giving circle, producing compelling cases for support, donor materials and events and supporting the Leadership Team and our trustees to make timely and appropriate asks upwards of £5,000.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the delivery and growth of ShareAction’s major donor strategy by identifying, engaging and stewarding prospective high net worth supporters, and managing pipelines and cultivation cycles.

• Identify new major donors and retain existing donors who have the capacity to make annual commitments of £5,000 and above;
• Oversee and develop the existing ShareAction Ambassadors giving circle which will include recruiting new donors and cultivating existing members to maintain and increase giving and provide appropriate ambassadorial opportunities;
• Build and maintain a prospect pipeline, working with Leadership Team and ShareAction trustees to identify prospective donors from their networks;
• Develop compelling Case for Support proposals and prepare and coordinate the delivery of individually tailored solicitation plans;
• Work with our Communications Team to manage regular communications to ShareAction’s major donor pool and pipeline;
• Plan and deliver both virtual and in-person prospect and stewardship events;
• Research donors and brief Leadership Team and trustees ahead of donor meetings;
• Coach and support other ShareAction team members to make financial asks;
• Work with the Senior Fundraising Manager to input into the planning and budgeting process for the major donor income line;
• Follow internal and external fundraising guidelines and ensure best practice in all stages of the fundraising cycle;
• Work with the Senior Fundraising Manager to support the delivery of the mid-value giving programme.
• Stays up to date with developments within the major donor space.

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive and the role might change slightly from time to time

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

ESSENTIAL

• Proven experience within mid-value/major donor fundraising, business development or stakeholder engagement;
• The self-starting ability to work independently as well as part of a team;
• Exceptional organisational, project and time management skills with the ability to work under pressure, plan and prioritise work effectively;
• Experience managing events, both in-person and online, to cultivate existing donors and identify new donor prospects;

Major Gifts Fundraiser

Newark and/or home based

Full time - 35 hours per week

Permanent

Closing date for applications: 21 November 2021

First interview: Provisional 30 November 2021

Our client are looking for a brilliant major gifts fundraiser to join one of the UK’s best-loved nature charities to grow their network of high net worth individuals supporting their work in turning around the nature and climate emergencies. This is a brand new role that will support their Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team, as well as the wider Wildlife Trusts’ movement, in developing long-lasting partnerships that deliver a step-change for nature’s recovery in the UK. 

Who they are 

The Trusts are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity. Together, they have 870,000 members, 38,000 volunteers and 2,800 staff across the UK. They are at an exciting moment in their 100-year history, with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive. 

The next 10 years will be critical in determining what kind of world they all live in.
