Jobs
Charity Community Fundraiser
In this role, a charity fundraiser is in charge of organising events and activities that encourage people or organisations to contribute to the charity either by providing donations or by giving their time to the cause. A charity fundraiser builds relationships and explores new fundraising opportunities.
A charity fundraiser’s success is highly dependent on the relationships they are able to build and maintain. Below are some of the responsibilities of a charity fundraiser:
Secure funding by approaching trusts, businesses or individuals
Recruit volunteers to join the cause
Create and deliver communication campaigns for donations
Organise events or other activities that aim to generate donations or more generally increase awareness
Develop and manage web-based fundraising and online auctions when applicable
Continue to encourage supporters to maintain their regular donations and inspire new supporters through relationship development
Create and maintain performance reports to ensure clear visibility of the efforts required to reach the target
A charity fundraiser might have to deal with pushback from people who are either in a hurry or simply not interested.
Knowing how to deal with these situations without taking things personally is essential.
Fleet is a town and civil parish in the Hart District of Hampshire, England, centred 38.2 miles (61.5 km) WSW of London and 13 miles (21 km) east of Basingstoke. It is the major town of the Hart District, and has large technology business areas, fast rail links to London, and is well connected to the M3. The Fleet built-up area has a total population of 42,835,[2] and includes the contiguous parishes of Church Crookham, Crookham Village, Dogmersfield, and Elvetham Heath. The town has a prominent golf club, an annual half marathon, an athletics club, and four football clubs. The nearby service station on the motorway is named after the town.
Hart, of which Fleet is the main town, was voted the best place to live in the UK by the Halifax Quality of Life study in 2011, 2012,[3] 2013,[4] 2014, 2015, and again in 2017,[5] above areas such as Elmbridge in Surrey and Wokingham in Berkshire.[6] This is due to the highly affluent majority of the population, better weather and health conditions, high levels of access to leisure space, and the town's surrounding countryside which includes woodlands and the Basingstoke Canal.[5]
Local landmarks include Fleet Pond, the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire, and a High Street with many Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Fleet holds a weekly Saturday market in Gurkha Square.
