Overview
Two fundraising roles available: Fundraising Innovation Lead and Individual Giving Officer at Scripture Union England and Wales. The fundraising team works to a target of around £2m per year, generated from a range of channels and segments. We are expanding our mission to reveal Jesus to the younger generations in England and Wales.
About the roles
We are looking for two fundraisers to tackle the following areas:
* Individual Giving: manage campaigns to grow our donor portfolio, including donors giving between £10pa and £1,500pa, and work to acquire, retain and reactivate donors.
* Fundraising Innovation: develop, trial, and implement new income generation ideas that contribute to our annual target and align with our fundraising strategy and relationships with grant-making trusts, major donors, and legacy income.
Between them, the two roles account for 1.8 FTE. We are flexible about how this is allocated; for example, both roles could work 4.5 days a week each, or one full-time and the other four days. We are open to suggestions as we seek the right candidates for the team.
The salary for both roles is £31,500 – £34,800 per annum full-time equivalent.
What You'll Do
* Individual Giving: Grow income from individual donors through campaign management, regular giving, and invitations to increase gifts from general, mid-level donors. Seek to acquire and retain new donors and reactivate lapsed donors.
* Fundraising Innovation: Develop, trial, and implement new approaches to income generation, contributing to the annual target through strategic ideas. Collaborate with the fundraising team to ensure activities align with the fundraising strategy and relationships with grant-making trusts, major donors and legacy income.
