We’re looking for a brilliant Fundraiser to grow our fundraising income and open up new opportunities. Focusing on individual and corporate donors and community events, you will support the charity in relation to creating long term sustainability.

Who we are looking for:

Whether you already have some experience across a range of fundraising (community, corporates, events or individual donors for example) or perhaps you have excelled in one area of fundraising and want to expand into new areas. Equally you may have experience of working in relationship management or a new business development environment and have proven success of building and sustaining stakeholder relationships, skills of which you would like to bring into a fundraising environment. We would love to hear from you as you could be the right person to join our team.

About the role:

This is a new post for GRIT. As a Fundraiser working with us, you will play a key role in developing a Fundraising Strategy with the CEO alongside securing funding from community, corporate and individual donors which support the Charity’s vision and mission.

You will proactively recruit, manage, and motivate supporters to undertake fundraising and awareness activities to develop and sustain a long-term revenue stream for GRIT. You will be an energetic person who is passionate about building relationships in the local community. Alongside the GRIT Team, you will champion our services, events and campaigns to engage supporters.

Your expertise and insights will be instrumental in identifying new opportunities, nurturing supporter relationships, and creating stewardship journeys aimed at increasing the average gift and lifetime value of supporters across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire and ensuring all our GRIT supporters receive the best possible experience.

Responsibilities:

  • Participate in the development and ongoing review of GRIT’s fundraising strategy.
  • Lead on multiple fundraising efforts and workstreams to actuate the fundraising strategy.
  • Identify and cultivate relationships with potential donors and create campaigns and appeals to increase brand awareness and donations.
  • Encourage and support individuals and community groups to take on personal fundraising challenges.
  • Encourage and support individuals and community groups to organise fundraising events.
  • Encourage fundraising activities with corporate partners, research new prospects and motivate companies across a wide range of sectors to financially support GRIT.
  • Keep up to date with fundraising administration, logging activity on our CRM system, Salesforce.
  • Prepare and present fundraising reports to management.
  • Where necessary train and supervise fundraising volunteers.

There are some skills, experiences, and ways of working which we feel are essential to thrive in the role:

  • You’ve worked as a fundraiser and proved you can raise money or have experience of working in relationship management or a new business development environment and have proven success of building and sustaining stakeholder relationships.
  • Have previous experience in planning and delivering projects as well as confidence in presenting to a variety of audiences.
  • You know about best practice in fundraising and where to find advice on regulations.
  • Building relationships comes as second nature to you.
  • You are comfortable enough with figures to be able to manage budgets and work out ROI.
  • Great at multi- tasking, prioritising, time management and project management.
  • An interest, understanding or experience (whether personal, voluntary, or professional) in young people’s mental health, will of course, be an added advantage.
