The IRC is looking to engage a highly experienced Major Gift fundraising consultant to help us design and implement our Major Donor engagement programme.
This is a critical initiative as we aim to significantly expand our high-value philanthropic support to advance the work of the IRC at home and abroad.
We are looking for a consultant with a proven track record in the establishment of major donor programmes, with personal experience of securing substantial gifts from donors. This role presents an exciting opportunity to shape the future of high-value philanthropy at the IRC by developing the strategy, infrastructure and skills needed for long-term success.
Responsibilities
1. Development of comprehensive relationship-based Major Donor engagement and acquisition strategy designed to build meaningful, long-term relationships with major gift donors (€5,000+) and high potential prospects, leading to increased financial support for the Irish Red Cross.
2. Database review to identify potential major donor prospects and develop personalised engagement strategies, collaborating with IRC’s established Individual Giving programme and database team.
3. Provide training and active support of ongoing face-to-face Major Donor outreach and engagement – in collaboration with the Partnerships & Philanthropy Manager, the Major Gifts Coordinator, the Head of Fundraising, and other IRC staff as/if required.
4. Establish internal processes and best practices to ensure continued major donor growth.
To be primarily based in the Irish Red Cross offices in Merrion Square, the consultant will work directly with the fundraising team on the long-term strategic development of the Irish Red Cross Major Gift programme.
A successful result of this consultation will be the establishment of a strong internal foundation for Major Donor fundraising within the Irish Red Cross including a clear pipeline of engaged prospects and donors, well-trained staff, and a Major Donor programme framework for long-term growth.
Cost: The tendered price should not exceed €50,000 including VAT.
Applications and queries should be submitted to Charlie Lamson, IRC Head of Fundraising (clamson@redcross.ie).
Deadline: Tuesday, March 18 @ 10:00. Late applications cannot be considered.
