Love a challenge that takes you forward?  

Looking for a vibrant, member-based nonprofit community organisation dedicated to supporting individuals living with mental illness? Using a strengths-based focus rather than illness, members and staff work side by side, creating opportunities for social engagement, vocational training, and personal growth, where flexibility and adaptability ensure every day is unique and filled with heartfelt and meaningful interactions.

There is a wonderful opportunity for a fundraising generalist – where you can have a direct impact on supporting adults living with mental illness

This newly created role is responsible for developing systems to cultivate and grow corporate partnerships as well as identifying, applying for and managing grant opportunities. Working with a dynamic CEO, leadership team, corporate partners and external stakeholders you will be up close and personal – directly involved in the development and implementation of a targeted fundraising and grant seeking strategy.

What you need to demonstrate is your ability to write compelling applications aligned to the purpose of the organisation, resulting in a high rate of success.  You understand the need to diversify funding streams and seek alternative sources of revenue, enabling more support to be provided.

Highly organised, great with process, and a skilled communicator who easily builds rapport and manages relationships, you’ll bring that desirable combination of understanding the Big Picture coupled with fine detail focus.  With a positive working style, ideally, you’ve had some exposure to charity and corporate partnerships somewhere along the line, understand what the nonprofit sector is all about and have a proven ability to seek out new fundraising opportunities.

Considered, flexible, confident, and deadline savvy, you are calm (even under the most trying circumstances), and ever ready to roll up your sleeves and go ‘the extra mile’ to resolve them.

Whatever your background, we look forward to hearing about the methods you use to identify prospective partners, approach them and engage sufficient interest to negotiate a mutually beneficial outcome.

As a personable, high-energy and caring individual, you can always be relied on to be tactful and discreet. And because it’s so important to you that your work really matters, you’re confident of giving 100% to this challenge.  In fact, right now, you can’t wait to be able to go to work every day, knowing that everything you do helps make a difference to create pathways to better mental health for everyone.
