Fundraising Manager

About the role:

The Fundraising Manager will be responsible for all things fundraising.

The ideal candidate will be keen to build relationships with individuals and corporate supporters, as well as make applications to trusts and foundations to secure grant funding.  You will contribute towards the fundraising strategy to ensure sustainability of the charity.
Working with our team members and volunteers, you will manage our funding pipeline, produce a range of applications – whether multi-year grants or project specific requests – and help to capture and report REACH’s impact for the benefits of funders.

About you:

We are looking for someone who is organised, enthusiastic and keen to support. This will require a proactive and can-do attitude, with the ability to think independently and be flexible. A keen eye for detail is a must, as is understanding the importance of working to deadlines. 

A proactive and independent thinker, you will be able to prioritise your workload while remaining flexible to adapt to what is needed.

Your written and communication skills will be strong, and you will be able to describe the impact of REACH’s work both passionately and factually. You should be interested in communicating a range of statistics and stories that paint a picture succinctly for a variety of forms and audiences.

You will need to be able to engage with the wider REACH team to collect client stories and be comfortable speaking confidently on REACH’s behalf with a range of people when needed.
