The National Youth Orchestra is the UK’s leading organisation championing orchestral music as a powerful agent for teenage development. We are a welcoming community where every teenager can play their part in shaping their world through extraordinary music.


NYO has a strong track record of securing grants and philanthropic gifts, along with a growing legacy pipeline. As we embark on our new 10-year Open Up strategy, we see significant opportunities to further expand the philanthropy portfolio.


This position is designed for a dynamic and passionate individual who possesses a unique blend of planning, relationship-building, and leadership skills.

  • Craft compelling proposals, collaborating with senior colleagues on strategic bids
  • Manage and grow a portfolio of prospects capable of giving at a level of £10,000 - £1m+, to deliver high levels of annual income according to agreed targets.

This role requires a deep commitment to the transformative power of youth, arts, and education, as well as an entrepreneurial spirit to explore new opportunities and drive growth. By aligning philanthropic support with NYO's strategic objectives, the Head of Philanthropy will have a direct impact on nurturing the next generation of musicians and advancing the organisation's mission to champion orchestral music as a vital means for teenage development and social change.
