Fundraising Manager

Are you passionate about keeping churches open and in use? Join the National Churches Trust as a Fundraising Manager and help us to maintain these wonderful historic buildings for generations to come.

Background

The post is a new role that will support the Head of Fundraising in raising income for the charity. You will assist in developing our fundraising strategy to ensure the charity can deliver its ambitious plans. To be successful, you will be a quick learner, with some experience of fundraising and stewardship of donors and an entrepreneurial attitude. You will need to keep abreast of current fundraising trends across the heritage sector and keep in touch with the charitable sector more generally.

Together with the Head of Fundraising, you will focus on building one-to-one relationships with high-net-worth individuals, legators and prospects who have the ability to give significant donations to increase the overall income of the charity. Income from legacies forms an important income stream for the charity, and the Fundraising Manager will be responsible for all aspects of our legacy marketing, to include advertising, promoting legacy giving and the cultivation of legacy pledgers.

The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues to help deliver the charity’s fundraising and engagement plans. You will oversee the development and marketing of our corporate income stream, the Specialist Skills Directory, and foster relationships with corporate supporters when required. You will need to be a flexible and energetic team player who is self-motivated with a hands-on approach.
