Director of Fundraising - Aberdeen, United States - With Kids

Description

Camphill is a worldwide movement with over 100 independent charities (often referred to as 'communities')supporting individuals with additional support needs to lead meaningful lives and to reach their fullestpotential.

The organisation began here, in Scotland, in 1939 through a group of Austrian refugees. They soughtsocietal change in the way disadvantaged and vulnerable people were treated and cared for.

There are 11 Camphill charities in Scotland, from Aberdeen to Dumfries and Galloway, supporting over 500 people fromearly childhood through to older age.

In Aberdeen, Camphill Estates owns the land occupied by 6 of them. Theyare independent charities but work together under the Camphill Estates umbrella for the common good.

Historically, Camphill Estates had one Fundraising Manager to generate voluntary raised funds and to support all ofthe communities to fundraise for themselves.

This all changed three years ago when this new post was created,representing a sea change in the organisation's thinking.

It followed a master plan which was drawn up with the help of consultants who reviewed the needs of the estate.

Thisprocess produced a lengthy list of capital build projects for 5 of the 6 charities that are necessary to improvethe buildings and the opportunities for the service users.

The cost of delivering those projects was anestimated £15million with the focus on improvements to Camphill School and the residential units.

A highly experience fundraiser was appointed to create and lead the capital campaign to raise the required £15mfunding, within a ten-year period.

Three years on, the campaign has met with great success - £4.5m has beenraised already.

They also built a very strong and focussed fundraising team of five, raised the profile of thecampaign in the local area and built strong working relationships with all the five partner charities.

Sadly, the current capital appeal fundraiser is moving on from Camphill Estates to live overseas, and CamphillEstates are looking for a new senior fundraiser to lead the appeal and carry on the good work.

In the threeyears since the appeal was launched, further capital requirements have emerged, and a new charity (MurtleMarket) has been created.

The appeal total has therefore been reset at £15m and again, ten years has been set asthe timescale.

The Board has set aside a healthy budget which allows the Director of Fundraising to build a team to deliver success.

It will be up to the Director to devise a strategy and manage the team of five fundraisers to reach the newincome goal.

Crucially, Board do not see this appeal as an end in itself.

Such a varied and evolving group of charities willalways have a capital fundraising requirement and are therefore happy to offer this role as a permanentposition, not linked to the current appeal target or length.
