ADD international is supported by a loyal donor base of regular givers, and a smaller group of cash givers. We are looking to grow our donor acquisition within this audience by trialling different approaches. We have recently undertaken some donor insight work which will form the background to this approach.  In addition to leading this work, the Individual Giving Manager will be responsible for optimising the stewardship of our existing donors and working with the Supporter Care Coordinator to deliver this.   

Part of this role will also involve relationship management of some mid- and high-value givers, promote legacy giving and community fundraising, and provide accurate and insightful reports on income and the donor base.  Our overall goal is to increase income through individual giving in order to facilitate the flow of resources to disability justice activists and their organisations.  

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for someone who wants to combine their skills and experience in individual giving fundraising with a decolonial approach to fundraising. If you believe in ethical storytelling, challenging traditional narratives and innovating to cultivate and build a donor base who share our values, this could be the role for you.
