    budgets, along with longer term forecasts for income from individuals
  • Work proactively with our Communications and Programmes teams to identify
    and create funded or high-return opportunities to gain visibility in key markets
  • Support staff to deliver and, where appropriate, lead on fundraising and
    cultivation events and donor trips
  • In consultation with the Director, lead on financial reporting for philanthropy
    income, advising on risks and opportunities, producing regular reports of
    income against plans and forecasts, and monitoring day to day income tracking

Our ideal candidate is:
