Development Officer: Trusts and Foundations

The Development Department's key purpose is to increase the generation of income in order to enable the Collection to achieve its core aims and sustain and increase the supporter base of the museum. Alongside a fundraising revenue income target, the Development Department is seeking to raise funds to create an endowment for the Collection (to reach a £20 million target) and to complete the museum's Masterplan of capital works.

The Development Officer: Trusts and Foundations role is to assist the department in delivering the revenue and capital targets. Funding from charitable trusts and foundations is essential to the museum. Excellent communication skills and a clear, concise and inspirational writing style when conveying the Collection's aims and ambitions to potential funders will be key to this role. Supporter care and stewardship also play an important part of the position.
