As an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record of securing major gifts or corporate partnerships at the four figure level, you'll have a can-do attitude and a capability for developing strong networks and contacts.

  • Proven ability to manage and develop diverse relationships.
  • Excellent written and oral English language communication skills.

    • Have good communication and presentation skills.

      About Kingston Charitable Foundation

      Kingston CF launched as an independent charity in January 2021, following eight successful years as local community fundraising project, Love Kingston. We are a small, dedicated team with over 30 years' third sector experience between us, and we work closely with our very supportive Board of Trustees.

      Our mission is to:


      • Identify where social needs exist in our area through commissioning, publishing, and utilising the best research available


      • Provide funds to local support groups that have the expertise to alleviate need, enrich people's lives and improve their life chances


      • Inspire and engage with local donors to help build sustainable long-term funds to support our vision


      • Build sustainable funds to increase the level of immediate and long-term resources available to organisations with charitable purposes across the borough of Kingston upon Thames

      By awarding grants, Kingston CF enables community groups and small charities to continue to deliver much needed services and support across the borough. Our staff costs are entirely grant funded from other organisations, so that of every £1 raised through fundraising, 90p goes directly to these good causes supporting local people in our shared community.

      There has never been a better time to join our ambitious team; Kingston CF is currently Charity of the Year for Kingston Chamber of Commerce, and we are undertaking Peer Research this summer, into 'What Kingston Thinks' with Rocket Science to inform and support the shaping of our strategy for the next 3 years.
