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. They need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if they are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. This will require big, bold changes in the way The Trusts work and how they mobilise others to take action, and it will require an increase in the scale and diversity of funding available for nature’s recovery. 

The unique offer of our client to major donors (their federated movement facilitates access to their senior staff, and their expert knowledge and passion), sets them apart from other large NGOs. Combined with their ability to provide expert advice to landowners, their deep local relevance alongside their collective national impact and growing profile within climate action, there is scope to grow their major gifts programmes significantly. 

As part of an exciting and evolving Marketing and Development team, the Major Gifts Fundraiser will play an important role in enabling The Trusts to grow support from high net worth individuals who share their passion for nature’s recovery. 

About you 

You will be a confident and engaging major gifts fundraiser, with the ability to express The Trusts’ case for support in tackling the nature and climate emergencies, both through their work on nature’s restoration on the ground, and through their influencing, policy and campaigning work. You will be highly experienced in initiating and developing mutually beneficial relationships with individuals to achieve fundraising targets, with a proven track record of securing significant unrestricted funds. 

They want their people to be as diverse as nature, so they particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. They are committed to creating a Wildlife Trusts movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. 

Our client are an equal opportunities employer and positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity.

Dogs Trust are the voice that every dog needs under times of hardship. They have been picking up the pieces, protecting these much beloved animals and championing for all dogs to enjoy a happy life free from the threat of unnecessary destruction for the past 126 years. Homelessness, hunger, and fatal diseases are just some of the problems faced by strays. This magnificent charity fights to ensure that dogs are safe and loved by rehoming thousands of dogs every single year

In 2020, a shocking 50,000 dogs were forced to live on the streets due to being lost, abandoned, abused, and unwanted with almost 2000 of these strays agonizingly being euthanized every year. Dogs Trust have a mission to stop healthy dogs being destroyed and are currently caring for over 15,000 dogs across their 21 rehoming centres over the UK and Ireland. Dogs Trust want every dog to find their forever home with an owner who loves them and understands their needs, and until this happens, they provide them with a safe home until the next phase of their life’s journey. By promoting responsible dog ownership and providing dog owners with advice and financial support, Dogs Trust hope to stop the abandonment and relinquishment of owned dogs.

Dogs Trust need new Major Gifts Officers, one being based in Scotland and the other in North West England. In this role you will play a crucial part in furthering the reach of this incredible charity. This is a rewarding and diverse role in which you will be driving relationships forward while getting to know the rehoming centres in your region. By inspiring others and delivering impact you will be helping to protect present and future dogs across the nation. You can even visit the dogs as often as you like.

The new Major Gifts Officers will have the ambition to identify new opportunities and cultivate relationships with Major Donors while increasing organic growth across regions. To steward high-net worth individuals to continue making large gifts to the charity, you will be relationship led with an understanding of major donor fundraising, even if your experience is from a sales or business development background. You will be able to secure income and reach targets as the result of being a credible relationship builder, strong communicator, and inspiring writer. Having a history of securing income against targets is needed, along with the drive to build networks and the ability to connect with audiences from different backgrounds.

This is an incredible opportunity for an independent, driven, and persuasive major gifts fundraiser to join this supportive, down to earth organisation to help continue their fight to protect dogs across the UK and Ireland

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.
