Founded in 2014, FightMND was established with the purpose of finding effective treatments and ultimately a cure for motor neurone disease.
Since 2014, FightMND has been the voice and guiding star for Australians fighting 'the Beast'. This horrible disease gradually takes away the use of arms and legs, the ability to eat and swallow, speech, and ultimately breathing, with an average progression of just 27 months.
FightMND – IT TAKES PEOPLE
Reporting to the Senior Philanthropy Manager and working as part of a dynamic fundraising team, you will:
- Lead the identification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of potential supporters to secure significant financial contributions.
- Manage a portfolio of major donors, fostering deep connections and long-term commitment to FightMND.
- Design and deliver a calendar of donor engagement activities and events that inspire giving, build loyalty, and demonstrate impact.
- Proactively identify and research new major donor prospects through individual giving programs, events, and community networks.
- Collaborate with the Senior Philanthropy Manager to develop and implement strategic plans to grow the supporter base and optimize philanthropic revenue.
- Work closely with the broader Fundraising Team to deliver supporter journeys that enhance retention, encourage upgrades, and promote cross-channel giving.
About You :
- Alignment with FightMND's values: Urgency, Integrity, Efficiency, Boldness, and Collaboration.
- Proven experience in relationship management and donor stewardship, including direct gift solicitation.
- Ability to build strong, enduring relationships with philanthropists, trusts, and individual stakeholders.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including proposal writing and confidently making asks.
- Proficiency in using CRM systems to manage donor data and engagement.
- Strong time management and prioritization skills, with the ability to handle multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Willingness to work outside standard hours to support key donor and fundraising events, including small gatherings, Big Freeze, Daniher's Drive, and Challenge 27.
FightMND offers flexible hybrid working (60% in Burnley office), a competitive salary with NFP benefits, 1% additional superannuation, five days of gifted leave annually, access to top-tier learning opportunities, and discounts through corporate partners.
