Philanthropy Lead
Are you a skilled fundraiser with a passion for building strong, lasting relationships with individual supporters? Our client is seeking an experienced Philanthropy Lead to join their small fundraising team. In this pivotal role, you will lead the growth and development of their individual giving programme, inspiring donors to support their mission of helping the chemical science community make the world a better place. Your work will play a crucial part in enabling them to achieve its ambitious strategy for growth and diversification.
As Philanthropy Lead, you will be responsible for cultivating and managing relationships with individual donors to them and their linked charity, the Chemists' Community Fund, both in the UK and internationally. By leveraging your deep understanding of their mission and the broader scientific landscape, you will maximize income and support for their charitable activities.
Key Responsibilities:
• Cultivate and Build Relationships: Identify and engage potential individual donors who have the capacity to support their mission. Develop meaningful relationships by understanding their needs and aligning them with their goals.
• Achieve Income Targets: Take ownership of fundraising targets, working closely with colleagues across the organsation to develop compelling proposals and secure material, financial, and strategic support for key projects in priority regions.
• Donor Stewardship: Ensure that all donors, both new and existing, receive an exceptional level of stewardship, fostering long-term relationships and ongoing support.
• Manage Legacies and Bequests: Oversee the management of legacies and bequests, ensuring their effective use to support their charitable objectives.
What They’re Looking For:
• Proven Fundraising Experience: A successful track record in individual giving and/or major donor fundraising, with experience in securing significant donations or gifts.
• Expertise in Prospect Cultivation: Significant experience in identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding donor relationships.
• Strong Negotiation Skills: Excellent at handling objections, navigating difficult conversations, and securing key gifts.
• Educational Background: Educated to degree level, with a demonstrable passion for the role of science and technology in addressing global challenges and driving societal progress.
• Credibility and Influence: Ability to quickly establish credibility with their members, fellows and influential individuals, using a consultative approach to engage and influence others.
• Cultural Awareness: An openness to learning about and engaging with diverse cultures, particularly as this role involves working with international donors.
Our client embraces flexibility and offer hybrid working, which means their teams come together when they need to collaborate. Although this role is contractually based at their Cambridge office, you will have the opportunity to also work mostly from a UK location other than this. Applicants should be aware that there is an expectation that employees will attend their Cambridge or London office on a weekly basis (at least once a week).
If you’re ready to take the next step in your fundraising career and help drive their mission forward, they’d love to hear from you. Apply now and join a team that is helping the chemical science community make the world a better place.
