Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes. 

We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We expect to raise £1.8m this year and are ambitious to at least triple again. 

While you will work in a small, fully remote team daily, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas annually, contributing to its $30m income. We have recently launched Pratham International, and we will work with them to reach more children worldwide in the years ahead.

This role will be key in sharing Pratham’s impactful work with our supporters. The core of the role is to manage digital content across email, social media, and our website, and play a vital role in supporting fundraising events, particularly our annual gala which will be held at the V&A in November this year and recruiting runners of the London Marathon.

We expect to launch a new website in 2025, a version of the new Pratham USA website that is due to roll out in mid-March. You’ll have an important role in adapting and tailoring it for Pratham UK.

There is potential for some advocacy work but that is secondary to the fundraising and communications elements.

If you’re a proactive communicator who thrives on creativity and is excited by the opportunity to support events and grow with an ambitious organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

Background

Around the world, public resources are being raised and spent unfairly and ineffectively, leaving millions of people without access to the quality public goods and services they need to thrive. Governments often make public resource decisions without much consultation or information from the public. Meanwhile, those with power and privilege very effectively influence government decisions in their favour.

Our goal is to make governments raise and spend public money more so that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive and get ahead. To achieve this, The International Budget Partnership (IBP) partners with budget analysts, community organizers, and advocates in 120 countries to advance public budget systems that work for people. Together, we generate data, advocate for reform, and build the skills and knowledge of people so that everyone can have a voice in public money decisions that impact their lives. For more than 25 years we have built a global network of partners that promote the public’s right to have a say in public finance. More recently we have scaled up our impacts to help communities drive change in how governments both raise and spend public resources and to inform decisions to ensure those resource translate into quality services—from healthcare to clean water.

Purpose of Role

IBP seeks a Director of Fundraising to drive our organization's resource development and financial sustainability. Working at the highest levels of the organization, this leader will develop and implement comprehensive fundraising strategies to secure multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitments from major international donors.

They will strengthen IBP's internal fundraising capacity while cultivating external relationships that advance our mission.

Success in this role requires exceptional relationship-building abilities, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of securing large-scale funding from a diverse range of channels including institutions, foundations and High Net Worth Individuals. This is an opportunity to shape the financial future of a global organization working to advance budget transparency, participation, and accountability in public finance and governance.

This is an exciting moment for IBP as it has just released its new strategy.
