  • Working with campaign teams to understand funding needs.
  • Building relationships with supporters and donors.

Time commitment is flexible / for discussion.

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.
  • Forecasting, analysing and reporting on income and other fundraising data.
  • Negotiating and finalising agreements on behalf of XRUK with donors, trusts, foundations, and other aligned organisations, in accordance with XRUK’s financial processes, while ensuring appropriate due diligence and maintaining the financial integrity of the movement.
