Future Youth Zone was founded 7 years ago on a solid foundation of corporate and philanthropic patron support, each giving at least £25k per annum and with a multi-year commitment. We have a strong reputation in the local area and have been supported by significant funders since opening. This role will continue to nourish these relationships whilst expanding our funder bases.
Our fundraising team with the support of Trustees and senior leaders have forged strong relationships with our founding patrons which means that many still donate generously today. We have just started an ambitious new 3 year strategy Launching the Next Generation, and this role plays a pivotal role in supporting a growing and sustainable income base to reach our goals.
This is a unique opportunity to work alongside Future’s Head of Fundraising & Communications and the wider fundraising team to play a leading role in stewarding our corporate and philanthropic relationships, and bringing in new high value partners.
Through being proactive, entrepreneurial and an excellent communicator, you will develop multi-year partnerships with businesses in East London and beyond, and seek opportunities to gain new philanthropic support. The successful candidate will provide outstanding account management to those who have already given as well as inspiring companies who have a connection with young people in East London to join our family of funders. This role will also collaborate with fundraisers from the Thames Gateway Youth Zone, and the three other London Youth Zones to build larger partnerships across more than one Youth Zone.
This role presents a great opportunity for a creative and self-motivated corporate or high value fundraising specialist, who has a proven track record of success in this field. The successful candidate will be an expert in account management development with experience of raising significant funds from new business opportunities or individuals. You will be confident writing high-quality proposals to a range of corporate foundations, companies and philanthropic foundations.
