London, Greater London, United Kingdom MQ Mental Health Full time
### Role Overview

The MQ Mental Health Research is a renowned charity that champions and funds world-class research to transform the lives of everyone affected by mental illness. We are seeking an experienced Trusts & Foundations Manager to join our Development Team.

As a Trusts & Foundations Manager, you will be responsible for generating income from grant making trusts and foundations. You will take the lead on seeking out new prospects and nurturing existing relationships to significantly grow income. You will achieve this by researching sources of funding, devising individually tailored applications, maintaining excellent communications with existing and potential donor trusts and foundations, delivering an agreed income target as well as growing funding from these sources.

### Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and research new and pipeline trust, lottery and statutory fundraising opportunities and progress them to application stage.
• Develop the trust and foundation pipeline to generate new income and multiyear grants.
• Lead the development of new fundraising proposals for priority fundraising projects, including potential research partnership opportunities where MQ collaborates on a joint bid with another institution.
• Carry out targeted and systematic research to establish new high value prospects utilising existing networks, the MQ database, search engines and referrals.
• Build long-term relationships with new and prospect trust, lottery and statutory donors, including through meetings, attendance at conferences and events, regular update calls/comms and – when possible – direct face-to-face engagement.
• Report on performance against agreed budgets and targets.
• Capitalise on the expertise and networks of MQ's senior volunteers, including working closely with MQ Trustees and other Development Team colleagues to maximise existing opportunities for introductions, including the Lord Mayor's Appeal.

### About You

This role is for you if you are an experienced trusts and foundations fundraiser, with good knowledge of the sector. You'll have demonstrable experience of securing five and six figure grants to achieve annual income targets, both through stewarding existing supporters and through researching and cultivating a pipeline of new opportunities. You will also be skilled in understanding and translating complex information and turning it into compelling written proposals, for grants, corporate partnerships and major donors. We do require someone who is proactive, hardworking and results-orientated.

### What We're Offering You

In return, we offer a great working experience within a friendly team. Hybrid working (in the London office Mondays and Tuesdays, with the remaining days from home). We are located near Barbican Tube. Plus, we offer lots of generous benefits and training opportunities. We're a Sunday Times Top Company to work for. Benefits include flexible working, annual holiday entitlement, wellbeing allowance, cycle to work scheme, employee assistance programme, counselling, pension, season ticket loan, and personal development opportunities.
