- Build relationships with new and existing funders.
- Deliver on our Income Generation Strategies.
- Successful bid writing.
- Increase corporate giving.
- Write and coordinate funding applications.

- Building and maintaining an active supporter base for African Rainbow Family
- Campaigning
- Social media and website
