The Fundraising Team is friendly, organised and dynamic.
The purpose of the Fundraising Team is to ensure the movement has enough money to function well.
Our team tasks include:
- Raising income by scoping, researching, engaging and developing all sources of income, including individual givers, major donors and institutional donors.
- Raising income by deepening our relationship with supporters and funders.
- Raising income by creating powerful content in alignment with UK M&M’s messaging strategy.
- Developing relationships with notables and programming speakers and performers for XRUK events.
