Fundraising and Partnerships Manager

We are looking for a talented Fundraiser to help us maximise all available opportunities and build a sustainable long term growth programme at The 2 Minute Foundation. You’ll have a passion for the environment and climate communication and be able to work flexibly.

The Fundraising Manager will play a central role in the overall income generation strategy that will diversify our channels and audiences to meet our organisational objectives.

Does working within a dynamic, forward facing, fast-paced environmental charity that makes a tangible difference excite you?

Are you ready to turn powerful stories and strong supporter relationships into meaningful income for a high-impact charity?

If so, we’d love to hear from you.

The 2 Minute Foundation is national charity born from a hashtag #2minutebeachclean. We are environmental educators who give people the tools and encouragement they need to lead a planet positive lifestyle. We do this through our social media campaigns and engagement, our 2 Minute Beach School, environmental learning offering for the community and our unique clean up Stations.

You’ll be a self-starter with a positive attitude and be ready to roll up your sleeves and join a fun, collaborative and professional team just minutes from the north Cornwall coast!

You will be responsible for stewarding a current pipeline of donors whilst also identifying and prioritising prospect fundraising opportunities through individual and community giving, grants and trusts, corporate and legacy giving.

Your impressive donor acquisition portfolio and a talent for building and nurturing great working relationships means that you’ll get started right away. Fundraising appeals and campaign concepts excite you and you’ll want to take the donors on a meaningful journey for them to become lifelong supporters. This will all be made possible by the fundraising tool kit that you’ll build which will also include monitoring and evaluation reporting for continual improvement as we grow.

You’ll wear different hats ranging from managing the CRM to writing a funding bid to planning the next digital giving campaign. Your creativity and initiative will help to implement new approaches and ideas and you’ll work with the comms teams to ensure each output has a CTA. To confidently communicate with the public and corporate leaders is second nature to you and you’ll positively influence and persuade people to support The 2 Minute Foundation at exhibitions and events.

Do you feel that this isn’t a typical position you would normally apply for, or you would normally be employed in... but you have value to offer? Well, we particularly want to hear from you!
