Sir Alfred Health & Elderly Care, a registered NPO/PBO is looking for nine fundraising managers to fundraise for projects, programmes and organizational administration, on a commission basis.

The day-to-day

• Research fundraising opportunities and write grant applications to charitable trusts or statutory bodies
• Build relationships with major donors or companies and make presentations
• Manage information and record the profile and fundraising activity of donors on a database
• Manage their own budget and ensure that targets are met
• Account handling: ensuring major donors or companies are happy with their donation scheme (such as a charity of the year partnership) and are kept informed of progress and milestones
• Devise and organise fundraising campaigns, events and door to door collections
• Spot fundraising opportunities and raise awareness of the organisation’s work

Key Skills and Competencies (Most Suitable Candidates)

• Those that understand networking and passive income generation.
• Fundraising managers need excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
• They need to be good at researching and devising strategies and opportunistically taking advantage of donation possibilities.
• Fundraising managers must be adept at people management, building long-term relationships with potential donors or volunteers and persuasively explaining their charity’s cause.
• The ability to manage budgets and hit fundraising targets are important, as are organisational and IT skills.
• An interest in, and commitment to, the cause you are raising money for is essential.

Qualifications and Experience

• A first degree is desirable, but knowledge and experience in a specialized area is an added advantage as SAHEC is looking for those that can hit their targets.
• A minimum of three years’ experience in fundraising is often required for a fundraising manager, but prior experience in areas such as sales or marketing can act as a substitute. For legacy fundraisers, experience in law or accountancy helps.
• Knowledge of the charity sector and the particular cause area you are aiming to work in, is essential. If you don’t already have voluntary sector experience, consider volunteering.

Remuneration
This is strictly commission based, with good rates, suitable for those that understand networking and passive income generation.
