3 days per week (21.5 hours)
Fixed term (18-24 months)
Hybrid (York & home-based)
Lead a transformational £5m capital appeal and help shape the future of animal welfare in York.
An established and respected animal welfare charity in York is embarking on a once in a generation redevelopment of its animal home.
The current building, constructed in 1980, no longer meets modern welfare or operational standards.
Demand for services is rising sharply, and plans are now in place to create modern, sustainable facilities that will dramatically improve animal outcomes and future-proof provision for years to come.
Planning permission has been secured.
Designs are being finalised.
Construction is anticipated next year.
We are now seeking an experienced Capital Campaign Lead to design, launch and deliver a £5 million appeal and secure the remaining funds required.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-value capital campaign from strategy through to completion.
You will develop the case for support, lead private and public phases, cultivate major donors and high-net-worth individuals, build corporate partnerships, and ensure strong governance and stewardship throughout.
As a small, ambitious charity with no other paid fundraising resource, they are looking for someone who is both strategic and hands-on with a proven track record of securing significant gifts and building senior-level relationships.
About the role
Reporting to the Branch Manager, you will take overall responsibility for planning and delivering the campaign from strategy through to completion.
You will:
Develop and implement a comprehensive capital fundraising strategy
Lead private and public phases of the campaign
Secure significant gifts from major donors and high-net-worth individuals
Build and develop corporate partnerships
Prepare compelling cases for support, proposals and campaign materials
Support trustees and senior volunteers to leverage networks
Ensure robust governance, reporting and stewardship
Monitor income targets and adapt strategy as required
About you
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:
Experience of leading or contributing significantly to a £1m+ capital campaign
A strong track record of securing major gifts from HNWIs and corporate partners
Excellent proposal writing and relationship-management skills
Confidence working with financial targets and campaign milestones
The ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders
Resilience, credibility and a results-driven mindset
Experience within animal welfare or a federated charity structure would be advantageous but is not essential.
Be part of a transformational project that will redefine animal welfare provision across the region.
