You will also be responsible for researching, cultivating, and applying to new supporters. In addition, you will manage their small to medium-sized Trusts and Foundations programme, developing effective communications to grow and steward this group efficiently and effectively. You will report into the International Head of Major Gifts and work in a dynamic and supportive team of seven major gift and trust fundraisers based in the UK and US.
