Help connect generosity with local impact
Kent Community Foundation is dedicated to building a Kent and Medway where every community has the opportunity to thrive. By connecting donors with grassroots organisations, we support local people and places to flourish.
We are looking for a Development & Events Officer to join our friendly and ambitious team. This is a varied and rewarding role, supporting donor engagement, fundraising activity, and the delivery of events that bring our work to life.
You’ll play a key role behind the scenes – researching prospects, coordinating donor communications, and helping ensure our supporters feel valued and connected. You’ll also lead on the planning and delivery of events, from small donor focused meetings to larger profile raising occasions.
The ideal candidate will be highly organised and proactive with a genuine enthusiasm for building relationships and making a difference locally. You’ll enjoy working as part of a team and managing multiple priorities. Experience working with CRMs (particularly Salesforce) and confidence handling and interpreting data will be valuable for this role.
