Major Donors Fundraiser Jobs in Liverpool

Furnishing Futures is the first charity in the UK to create trauma-informed, fully furnished and decorated homes for vulnerable women and children rehoused in social housing or living with furniture poverty after domestic abuse, at no cost to them.

We design and install beautiful, safe homes that make women and children feel cared for. We do this by taking good quality furniture donated by the interiors industry to reduce landfill waste and giving everything a woman needs. This helps break the cycle of poverty, boosts the confidence of disadvantaged women, and supports their mental and physical well-being.

We are looking for a freelance fundraiser to carry out the practical tasks needed to increase our capacity to manage our current grant and major relationships, to research and assess what new opportunities are out there, and to develop new and significant, multi-year funding relationships with trusts and foundations. We're looking to raise £150,000 over the coming six months. Since about 85% of our income currently comes from grant-making trusts and foundations, we aim to make this a focus of our fundraising efforts.

This is a remote working role, but we would like you to attend meetings at our office from time to time.

If this role interests you, we'd love to hear from you.

About us 

Myeloma UK is the only organisation in the UK dealing exclusively with the incurable blood cancer myeloma and related conditions. We are committed to bringing together the best and brightest people to help us ensure that every patient has an empowered present and a hopeful future.

Our ultimate goal is to find a cure and make myeloma history. Until then, our mission is to help every patient live well with myeloma for as long as possible. We are committed to diagnosing myeloma earlier, discovering and sharing knowledge, transforming the patient experience and influencing positive change in care.

About the role

 This is a new role within the Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships team responsible for developing and leading our major donor programme. Myeloma UK is embarking on an ambitious five-year income generation strategy, which aims to increase income from £5m to £10m by 2028. This position will play a critical role, working alongside the Head of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships to double the income we raise from major donors and family trusts by securing 5-6 figure grants for a range of innovative and life changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy. The Philanthropy Manager is also responsible for managing and supporting the Philanthropy Officer in securing mid to high level donations from individuals.

The major donor programme at Myeloma UK is established - we have a strong community of existing high-level supporters and have identified significant potential donors within our community - but these opportunities have not been fully leveraged in the past. Building on this foundation, and a major fundraising Gala planned for Spring 2024, there is a significant opportunity to transform this area of fundraising and this role will be instrumental in delivering a step change in our approach. The role requires outstanding relationship building skills, and the ability to work with high-net-worth individuals, to build credibility and trust and inspire them to support Myeloma UK.

About you

You will be an experienced major donor fundraiser with the ability to secure 5-6 figure gifts and lead others to do the same. You will be a strategic thinker, who is ready to lead and implement our major donor strategy alongside the Head of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships.

We need someone with exceptional relationship management skills with the ability to nurture high value relationships and also work closely with senior colleagues, Trustees and other volunteers to build deep and long-lasting donor relationships. It will be crucial to work closely with colleagues across the charity to identify fundraising priorities, develop fundraising propositions and involve them in the cultivation and stewardship of key relationships.

You will be a skilled communicator and negotiator with the ability to communicate complex scientific information in an engaging way. We need someone who can build relationships from scratch, uncover donor motivations and convey the importance of Myeloma UK’s work to inspire support.
