Hawthorn, Australia Education CHANCES Foundation Full time

About the role

About Education CHANCES

The Education CHANCES Foundation (ECF) is a grass-roots community organisation focussed on Education and the benefits of academic success on the health, wellbeing and social inclusion of financially disadvantaged students, their parents and siblings.

We award scholarships to motivated and talented young people from financially disadvantaged backgrounds who may also be socially isolated and come from culturally diverse backgrounds.

Our record to date is one of significant contribution to our local community. This is demonstrated by more than one million dollars granted in scholarships, the testimonials of principals, recipients, families, and school staff and the significant achievements of our alumni.

Role outline:
The Fundraising and Partnerships Manager will work closely with the Board and the General Manager, Programs and Operations, to ensure young people are empowered to achieve their academic and personal potential.

The role combines strategy and operations to enable growth of the ECF fundraising portfolio and income, and our current and future partnerships. This role will also assist ECF to achieve sustainability and strategic fundraising goals and develop relationships with current and prospective benefactors to achieve, with the Board, the financial security of ECF.

Key Responsibilities

The Fundraising and Partnerships Manager will be required to:

- Develop and implement highly effective short
- and long-term programs and campaigns in fundraising.
- Seek and establish partnerships in philanthropy with individuals, businesses and benevolent trusts and foundations.
- Identify new individual and partner prospects annually and create compelling proposals and pitches to secure commitment.
- Design and help deliver events that build awareness of ECF and contribute to the pool of possible benefactors.
- Deliver a range of fundraising programs including direct mail, annual giving and targeted appeals for occasional special needs or projects.
- Provide outstanding stewardship to existing partners and benefactors, identifying opportunities to deliver additional mutual value.
- Forecast and work to budgets and growth targets for general fundraising and partnerships.
- Maintain accurate records of donor approaches, responses and stewardship activities.
- Track and report quarterly on philanthropic income and numbers and types of benefactors/partnerships.

Success is measured by:

- Raising a minimum of $240,000 each year to support our scholarships
- Building sustainable fundraising growth through strategic partnerships
- Delivering a robust forward-looking pipeline that predicts financial sustainability

Time Commitment
- Participation in meetings and events will be required periodically outside of ‘traditional’ business hours.

Key Selection Criteria
- Experience in a not-for-profit fundraising role (preferred).
- Demonstrated ability to identify and develop key relationships leading to partnerships and possible financial support.
- Excellent communication skills, both interpersonal and written.
- Demonstrated ability to structure time, show initiative and achieve prioritised outcomes.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
- Proficient in MS Office suite (Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint) and Google work space and social media.
- Applications close: Friday 11 July 2025 at 5pm_
