Head of Philanthropy (Maternity Cover)

Philanthropy, which covers Trusts and Foundations, Major Donors and Mid-Value Donors , is pivotal to Noah''s Ark - typically accounting for around 46% of the charity''s overall income. In real terms, that is c. £2.2m of our £4.7m fundraising target for 2026-27. This role also has a lead role in managing our Philantropy and Corproate Board of influential volunteers that support our philanthropy programme. Philanthropy is a real area of expertise for Noah''s Ark and we have seen considerable success over the past 10 years. However, there is much scope for further, exciting growth. Specifically, there is much to do to re-engage lapsed donors and to build a healthy pipeline to ensure a steady flow of new donors join our programme. Our mid-value donor programme also requires further development to enable the cultivation of future Major Donors. The Head of Philanthropy will work closely with the Director of Fundraising and Communications to dedicate time and attention to a strong portfolio of donors, and will contribute to the wider development of fundraising and communications strategies through senior team forum and all-staff forums. The post-holder will be key in taking our Philanthropy programme to the next level, building on key existing relationships, increasing income and opportunities generated by our team''s augmentation and growth and elevating the experience of supporting Noah''s Ark.
