Philanthropy Coordinator

The Royal Albert Hall is seeking a highly motivated individual with fundraising experience and persuasive writing skills to assist and contribute to our small but dynamic Philanthropy team.

The Philanthropy team is responsible for raising significant funds in support of the Royal Albert Hall and its charitable objectives. As we emerge from the pandemic, there is an urgent need to recover the Hall’s finances with fundraising identified as a priority to help secure the recovery of the Hall. This role is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team at a national institution helping to safeguard the future of the Hall.

The Philanthropy Coordinator will focus on fundraising from Trusts and Foundations, and will lead on securing four-figure and lower five-figure gifts under the supervision of the Trusts and Foundations Manager.

Further responsibilities will include: researching and identifying new funding sources; helping to design and coordinate innovative public fundraising campaigns; maintaining and building relationships with supporters; liaising with other teams in this iconic organisation; and, carrying out administration for the team and work on our database.

For this role, experience of fundraising is essential; experience of working with Trusts & Foundations and Public Campaigns is desirable.

The successful candidate will be skilled at writing in a compelling and persuasive manner.  They will be a quick learner, can work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, have excellent diary-management skills and be experienced in carrying out administration and the use of databases (or display the ability to learn these skills).

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-paced team contributing to the Hall’s recovery at a crucial time in its history.
