The John Muir Trust is recruiting a Fundraiser – Major Donors to lead on the Trust’s major donor fundraising. This is a unique opportunity to join the Trust’s Income Generation team as it looks to build capacity and significantly increase income to support its exciting Strategy.

Key duties

• Lead on major donor fundraising, including project and prospect development and stewardship of high value donors.
• Develop funding bids, working with a range of colleagues to submit compelling proposals to individuals and other funders, ensuring approaches match their interests and priorities.
• Write reports and updates to keep donors informed of the positive impact of their support.
• Ensure effective stewardship of individual donors and support development of the offline and online donor journey to build engagement and loyalty.
• Manage and develop the Trust’s symbolic giving programme including product development, website updates and budget management.
