The scale of this collection enables researchers from all over the world to document how species have and continue to respond to environmental changes - which is vital in helping predict what might happen in the future and informing future policies and plans to help the planet.
We are at a pivotal moment in our history as we launch a new strategy setting out our role as the natural world faces increasing threats. Building on our world-leading collection, global reputation for science and as one of the world's leading visitor attractions, the NHM has ambitious plans leading up to the 150 anniversary of the opening of the Waterhouse Building in 2031, making this a truly exciting time to be part of the NHM team.
About the role
You will generate and increase funding from two income streams - our growing Patrons programme and new Legacy strategy and programme. Our legacy initiative has been created to maximise income from gifts in Wills and In Memoriam giving through effective promotion, cultivation and stewardship of potential and confirmed legacy pledgers. The programme is preforming well, and has already delivered a significant number of new confirmed pledges.
Based in the Major Gifts team, you will work closely with a number of colleagues in the Development Group and across the Museum to raise the profile of the Patrons scheme and planned giving and to establish best practises. You will also be the Development Group's point of contact for gifts of objects/specimens to the Collection (through Wills or as lifetime gifts).
About you
You will bring strong creative, interpersonal and communications skills to this role, with excellent planning, administration, and process management abilities.
Your successful, personal track record in legacy fundraising, membership scheme fundraising and donor development, and demonstrable experience of relationship cultivation and donor management, helps ensure that you have a sound understanding of the legal processes surrounding legacies.
