RBLI is looking for an experienced trust fundraiser to join our dynamic, growing and winning fundraising team as the Manager of the trust fundraising function. You will have a clear track record delivering to significant annual targets and a proven ability to secure multi-year gifts. You will be looking for an opportunity to fundraise across a wide range of charitable activities; health, welfare, homelessness, dementia & care, employability and social enterprise, and across both capital and revenue. You will have a very good understanding of the trust giving sector including during the pandemic.

To develop and lead an ambitious Trust Fundraising programme across a wide range of capital and revenue projects. These include RBLI’s employability programme, health, welfare and wellbeing, dementia care, research, bursaries and enterprise for Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Co., and exciting capital developments.

The Trust and Foundations Fundraising Manager will produce winning funding applications for Trust, Lottery, and statutory funders, as well as the military benevolent funds.

• Account manage trust and foundation relationships and oversee reporting, ensuring their requirements are met, monitoring progress, and evaluating funded projects.
• Without over-reporting, ensure that all relevant trust and foundations feel involved and up-to-date with the work of RBLI. This may include ensuring their trustees are invited to events, organising memorable and engaging tours of our services and facilities, and arranging meetings with senior stakeholders.
• Work with service delivery teams to minimise any potential underspends and ensure that all issues concerning the success of funded projects are addressed in a timely and professional manner.
• Maintain accurate records and information about all supporters and applications and ensure that database and hard copy files are kept up-to-date.
• Provide regular financial reports and management information such as trust application success ratios and application pipelines.
• Network externally with potential project partners, funders, major donors, and sector support resources (such as the IoF Special Interest Groups) to keep in touch with opportunities and trends.
• Keep up with social and policy trends, including amongst statutory funders and maintain a general awareness of developments and pressures in public sector services and on welfare to work programmes.
• Develop the understanding of frontline staff, Trustees, volunteers and other stakeholders, to create a culture of welcome, relationship building, asking, and stewardship which supports fundraising.
• Represent RBLI at internal and external events to engage with supporters, businesses, and sector influencers.

Personal Attributes:
• Good at establishing positive relationships at all levels
