Fundraising Manager

Sported is the UK’s largest charity dedicated to supporting community groups using ‘Sport for Social Change’ to survive and thrive. Our 3000 members around the UK use the power of sport to help some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach young people overcome their personal challenges and fulfil their potential.

Sported is currently entering an exciting new phase with a number of new high profile partnerships and projects in development along with ambitious plans for the celebration of our 10th birthday in 2018.

To coincide with this period, we are looking for an experienced Fundraising Manager to take the lead in our Major Donors and Trusts and Foundations work as we seek to continue the excellent growth in income generation of the past 5 years. Working with Sported’s executive team and hugely connected Board of Trustees, you will be expected to drive the strategy for both areas; leading or supporting conversations with Major Donors, identifying and applying to relevant major Trusts and Foundations and ensure that the future pipeline continues to develop.

If you have a strong track record of developing high level relationships, writing successful proposals and coordinating senior volunteers – then we’d love to hear from you. For more information, please see the attached Job Information Pack.
