Fundraisers

Many of our partners urgently need fundraisers to help them raise funds to achieve their programmes’ goals.

Roles are generally longer term, ranging from one to two years, but we also have occasional short term assignments for up to six months.

You’ll have a degree in a related field and at least two years’ practical work experience (five years for short-term roles). Your experience will be varied and include areas such as institutional funding, resource mobilisation techniques, financial planning, event management, grant management, donor management strategies and marketing. You’ll be able to prepare funding proposals, develop project action plans and use evaluation tools to ensure project success. Experience of donor relationship management, event management, networking and training staff in fundraising is desirable.

You could be working in countries such as Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, India, Nigeria, Zambia or Sierra Leone.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be helping raise essential funds, both by developing funding proposals yourself and by training your colleagues to do the same. You’ll be supporting and training staff in areas like grant development, institutional funding proposals and resource mobilisation.
