Trusts & Foundations Fundraising Manager
Beyond is a small charity that has experienced a sharp growth in the last two years in awareness and need. We aim to improve the mental health of young people in the UK and award grants to mental health initiatives or educational settings to support their young communities. This recent growth is testament to the urgency of the youth mental health crisis and our fundraising capacity needs to catch up.
We are looking for a hard working, results driven Trusts & Foundations Fundraising Manager who is able to communicate our charity’s purpose and values effectively including but not limited to; eradicating racism that is so often a contributor of poor mental health, campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights and raising the voices of the voiceless and marginalised.
As our Trusts & Foundations fundraising manager, you will work closely with the Head of Operations and our external fundraising consultant to deliver on an ambitious fundraising strategy to raise circa £200 000 from major donors and/or trusts and foundations over the course of the year:
- Write compelling applications to funders to generate income for projects that support the strategic goals of Beyond
- Conduct prospect research to identify and cultivate key trusts and foundations, statutory and corporate partnerships, and major donor relationships.
- Support the SLT to develop and maintain relationships with existing and new funders.
- Ensure reporting requirements are met and that funders are kept informed of how their support has enabled the charity to continue its work.
- Carry out other duties appropriate to the post as requested by the Head of Fundraising
- Maintaining existing donor and supporter relationships to maximise income and ensure long-term funding relationships;
- Developing and maintaining supporter database, ensuring that records are up to date, complete and stored and used in compliance with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements;
- Attend fundraising and other events as required (this may involve some weekend and evening work)
This role is full-time (flexible though, to suit the needs of the successful candidate) and remote, though some in-person opportunities will be available at times.
Please send your CV and cover letter (written, audio and video applications are all welcome) to louisa@wearebeyond.org.uk.
Salary: Up to £41 000 per annum
Note: This post is currently funded for one year. We then plan to seek further funding to extend it.
