About the role:

The Fundraising Manager will play a key role in securing sustainable income to enable Amber to achieve its mission. Working closely with the CEO, you will develop and deliver fundraising across a diverse range of income streams, building strong relationships with funders, supporters and partners.

As Amber's sole fundraising professional, you will lead all aspects of income generation, building on established income streams such as trusts and foundations, community fundraising, individual giving and events, while developing income streams that are at an earlier stage, including legacy giving and corporate sponsorship. You will work closely with the CEO and colleagues across the organisation.

- Planning and Monitoring

- Trusts and Foundations

The role

Individual giving at Cruse is in its infancy; therefore, this is a unique opportunity for an experienced, proactive and creative individual giving expert to join, develop and build the role. We are looking to build all areas of individual giving including committed gifts, cash appeals, legacy and in memoriam gifts, and increase our supporter acquisition and retention. With integrated cross team planning and delivery between individual giving, events, campaigns, brand and supporter engagement.

Experience of using digital channels to grow income from supporters and creating an exceptional donor experience are key to this role. The Individual Giving Manager role is part of the Voluntary Income Team, that will drive development of both acquisition and retention channels to improve overall supporter experience, and therefore income. This is a great opportunity to make this role your own and set the direction for generating income from individual supporters alongside growing our legacy pipeline.
