As Fundraising Manager you’ll spearhead the purpose driven corporate partnership program for the Blue Light Card Foundation, to maximise fundraising income.  You’ll play a crucial role in developing and implementing fundraising strategies to support our mission and ensure the financial sustainability of the Charity. 

 

The Blue Light Card Foundation gives a lifeline to those who give so much to keep us safe and healthy. We fund and deliver mental health and wellbeing support for the issues we know the community needs help with most – because as former police officers, military professionals and more, we've been on or supported the frontline. We understand.   

 

What You’ll Do  

 

  • Identify and cultivate relationships with new, corporate partners, individual donors, major donors' foundations, and other potential supporters 

  • Create and execute comprehensive fundraising plans and strategies to achieve revenue targets and support BLCF’S strategic plan and mission 

  • Write compelling proposals, solicitation letters, and other fundraising materials to secure funding from businesses 

  • Create, launch and manage supporter stewardship and recognition programs to ensure corporate donors and partners feel valued and engaged with the organisation 

  • Identify and cultivate community fundraising initiatives such as mass participation employee fundraising. You’ll lead community fundraising efforts among Blue Light Service employees, who are also the potential beneficiaries of our charitable grants 

  • Work with the marketing function to create effective fundraising campaigns and materials, including digital and print collateral, social media content, and email campaigns 

  • Utilise our donor management software / databases to track donor interactions, manage donor information, and analyse fundraising data 

  • Provide regular reports and analysis on fundraising activities, goals, and outcomes to the CEO and Trustees 

 

What You’ll Bring  

 

  • Significant experience in non-profit fundraising and development with a proven track record of success in meeting fundraising goals and securing major gifts 

  • Experience crafting compelling fundraising appeals, grant proposals, and other donor communications 

  • A creative approach to corporate partnerships, identifying opportunities for uplift and increased engagement among existing partners, fostering a strong sense of connection to the charity’s mission 

  • Knowledge of fundraising best practices, ethical guidelines, and regulations governing charitable organisations 

  • Experience in donor pipeline management  

  • Confidence providing updates to the board of Trustees 

  • Knowledge of marketing communications strategy and donor engagement, as well as CSR/ESG driven partnerships would be highly beneficial 

 

Our Culture 

 

Blue Light Card Foundation culture is built around our members, who are at the heart of everything we do. Our people are integral to helping deliver life-enhancing local and national projects, through grants, to support the wellbeing of the incredible Blue Light community.  

 

Blue Light Card Foundation allows us to go further in helping our members. We’re committed; we’re supportive; we empower, and we understand. Our values underpin our vision; working towards a future where every member of the Blue Light community, both past and present, feels empowered, supported and heard. 

 

We work as a team and try to have a bit of fun while we do it, and we recognise the importance of culture and the positive impact it can have on performance for you, the team, our organisation and our members. We believe in attracting the best talent no matter where you are. We promote hybrid working, but we value in-person collaboration so encourage time in our offices. How regular and in which office location depends on the role and team. We don't offer remote-only roles. 

 

What We Offer 

 

  • Hybrid working and flexible hours 

  • Free parking and EV charging onsite (chargeable) 

  • 25 days plus public holidays and an additional day off for your birthday

  • Onsite gym (including access to free HIIT & stretch classes)  

  • Learning and development opportunities
