Following its successful relaunch, the Air Cadet Charity is seeking a highly motivated Trust and Major Donor Fundraiser to help it achieve its aims of supporting and developing the young people of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Air Cadet Charity, until now, has had to rely on donations but Trustees have decided to expand our income generation streams in order to enable us to do more for each and every Royal Air Force Air Cadet. Our activities and projects include supporting flying, adventurous training, drone piloting, participation in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, national sports and national music competitions, BTEC qualifications, STEM development as well as many others. Although the Charity had been around in a different guise for many years this is an opportunity to join a vibrant young charity at the start of its new journey to do more for the young people of our Nation.

The role will focus chiefly on sourcing funding from charitable trusts who share our goal of developing our young people, equipping them with the skills to prosper not only in the present but also for the rest of their lives. Some cadets will join the Royal Air Force, but the majority go on to forge careers in all walks of life thanks to the opportunities provided by the Air Cadets and the Air Cadet Charity. Our policy is to spend all that we earn and to dip into our capital if required. Annual expenditure and income is around £900,000 each year and our aim is to increase this to around £1,500,000 by 2029. The successful applicant will have tried and tested charitable trust fundraising skills such that they contribute the majority of the additional funds required to make this ambition a reality although we recognise that this will not be an overnight goal!  In addition, the successful candidate will have outstanding interpersonal skills enabling them to encourage donations from major donors and all who would wish to support the development of our young people.

The role will work directly to the Charity Director, will suit someone who is able to work as the sole fundraiser – although there may be scope to increase our resources as our ambition grows – and not afraid of hard work and added responsibility. It will be primarily working from home with regular contact with the Charity Director and the Trustees responsible for fundraising.

Pitching, presenting and proposal writing should be a strength, that can be evidenced through successful fundraising. Specific knowledge of charitable trust fundraising is essential and wider knowledge of other fundraising specialisms would be advantageous, such as Major Donor and Corporate. We’re looking for a proactive and ambitious team player, able to work from your own initiative.

Key Focus areas

• Expert knowledge of charitable trust fundraising with a track record in designing and securing major gifts through written and/or verbal proposals.
• A track record in securing income from individual donors, Major Donors and Philanthropists including knowledge of legacy fundraising.
• Develop engaging supporter journeys and Legacy pipelines.
• Provide an exceptional experience to our supporters.
• Strong understanding of fundraising principles but most importantly doing the right thing at all times.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.
• Strategic thinker with exceptional written and verbal communication abilities.

Salary £35k-£40k per year pro-rata, 26 days annual leave (not including bank holidays).

Flexible hours and working from home. Full-time or part-time considered, 3-5 days per week - please specify your preference in your covering letter when applying.

Interviews to take place 7th and 8th November.

Previous applicants need not apply.

About the Role

We are seeking to recruit a creative and ambitious Fundraising and Communications Officer.

As our reach and impact has increased significantly in recent years, so has our income, and this new role has been created in response to that demand.  This is an exciting opportunity for a fundraiser who wants to widen, or consolidate, their knowledge and experience of fundraising, in an international context, as well as gain communications experience.

We are a very small team so the role will cover a breadth of funding streams, with a particular focus on Trusts and Foundations, High Value Donors, and Events, both special and community.  It is therefore important that you have excellent writing and interpersonal skills, and solid experience of crafting successful funding applications.  You will also need excellent planning and organisational skills.

• Donor prospecting and new business: researching and generating new donor leads as well as acting on opportunities provided by our Board and others, converting prospects into supporters of our programmes.
• ​​External communications: working alongside the Director of Fundraising and Communications, assisting in the creation of our quarterly e-newsletter and the Annual Report, managing our social media channels, in addition to other ad hoc external communications.
• Events: supporting our community and events fundraisers and assisting with the organisation of occasional special events, alongside Board members.
• Fundraising innovation: assisting in the development of creative campaigns to increase donations/recruit lapsed donors, developing products and offerings.
• Financial management and admin: maintaining our donor database and contributing to fundraising budgets and forecasts.

• Personal or professional experience of a range of social media channels.
• Good IT Skills (Microsoft Office, Mailchimp, CRM systems (we use Donorfy))
• Self-motivated and able to work autonomously with a largely virtual team 

The Senior Direct Marketing Executive will be a key role within the Acquisition Team, as the expert in digital fundraising, a key area of growth in line with the Fundraising Strategy.  We are looking for someone who can support the Trust’s aspirations for digital transformation and ensure excellence across our digital fundraising activity.

Location/base: This role will be based from home, but with an office ‘hub’ for collaborative team meetings.

Philanthropy Manager (Manchester Museum)

Job reference: PSX-026773

Salary: £45,585-£56,021 per annum, dependent on relevant experience

Location: Manchester Museum

Employment type: Fixed Term

Hours Per Week: Full Time (1 FTE)

Contract Duration: 14 months (Maternity Cover)

Right now, is Manchester’s time to shine. This year, we’re celebrating 200 years of making a difference. And we’re currently preparing to launch our first ever major fundraising and volunteering campaign.

Manchester Museum will play a key role in the campaign. The Museum – which is part of The University of Manchester – cares for over 4.5 million objects, with an internationally important collection spanning from Archaeology to Zoology. It works with communities, supports university students and schools in Manchester and beyond, and is a free, inclusive museum for all.

Since reopening after a major capital redevelopment in February 2023, Manchester Museum has gone from strength to strength. In its first year it more than doubled its visitor numbers. The Museum’s visitor base today reflects its communities and context – just under a third of visitors are under 25 and over a third are from the global majority.

As the University’s fundraising lead for Manchester Museum, you’ll be responsible for driving forward the Museum’s philanthropic fundraising strategy, working closely with colleagues across the Museum and our wider University fundraising team. You’ll unlock the potential of philanthropy at Manchester Museum – developing and nurturing relationships with people, networks, businesses and associations who have the ability to make significant gifts to support Museum priorities. Working closely with colleagues across the Museum and University, you’ll identify opportunities for philanthropy to play a key role in delivering the Museum’s mission. And you’ll develop creative and effective engagement, cultivation and stewardship plans that deepen prospect relationships and inspire future support.

Working in close collaboration with colleagues in areas like Trusts and Foundations, Legacies, Regular Giving, and Communications, you’ll identify opportunities to maximise fundraising income across Manchester Museum. You’ll work together to embed a culture of fundraising across the Museum – giving visitors, online audiences, supporters and friends the Museum the opportunity to play an active role in its future. You’ll also act as a key point of liaison between the Museum and the University’s fundraising team.

What you will get in return:

· Fantastic market leading Pension scheme.

· Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme.

· Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays.

· Additional paid closure over the Christmas period.

· Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.  All appointments are made on merit.

Our University is positive about flexible working – you can find out more here
