Head of Philanthropy
Cheltenham
+ 33 days holiday per annum (including bank holidays)
5% pension employer contribution and ticket allocation
Cheltenham Festivals is a leading cultural organisation and charity with a national reputation working with partners such as The Times & The Sunday Times and the BBC. Cheltenham Festivals is also an Arts Council NPO and a PRS for Music Foundation Talent Development Partner. Fundraising is essential to the health and longevity of the organisation. Funds are raised for the four annual Festivals of Literature, Jazz, Music and Science, as well as our year-round education, community and talent development programmes, embedded in everything we do.
We are looking for an experienced senior fundraiser to be our Head of Philanthropy who will lead the development and management of our individual giving programmes and activities, including general donations, online donations, payroll giving, regular giving, mid-level gifts, legacies, the Patrons programme and the membership scheme. You will explore and test new income streams from individuals and seek to increase supporter engagement. The Head of Philanthropy will also have overall responsibility for fundraising from trusts & foundations, statutory and Lottery sources. This role is currently supported by the equivalent of a full-time Patrons Manager (two people, job share).
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior fundraiser experienced in securing major gifts, with highly developed bid writing and stewardship skills. Candidates should have the ability to influence and to present a compelling case for support, working closely with colleagues across the organisation, and with donors and supporters, to build a secure future for a dynamic and growing cultural organisation with a growing national footprint.
This role will mainly be based in the Rodney Road offices in Cheltenham, however, some homeworking is possible outside of Festival times. Some evening and weekend work will be required around Festival time.
