The role

In this role, you will support the Philanthropy Manager and Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships in securing new four and five-figure multi-year gifts from individuals. Your responsibilities will include day-to-day management and implementation of the mid-value giving strategy, verbal and written presentation of donor funding proposals, prospect research, and account management of your own High Net Worth individual supporters.

* Proficiency in verbal and written communication skills with an ability to present ideas creatively and persuasively.
