We are currently looking for an experienced Fundraising Events Officer (volunteer) to join our small team. With a passion for running successful fundraising events, you will help Team Kenya to develop a suite of fundraising events to generate income, raise awareness and engage supporters.

  • Maximise publicity on all fundraising activity across our audiences, alongside the Marketing lead
  • Support individuals and organisations to fundraise for the charity and support them with their fundraising activity
  • Support and maximise all third party led event and challenge fundraising initiatives e.g. Great North Run
  • Ensure the meticulous recording of all data relating to events fundraising on our CRM
  • Proactively approach past fundraisers (where approved) to encourage repeat fundraising
  • Provide effective customer care, for both participants and events partners/supporters at sponsored or challenge events (i.e. Marathons) – by letter, email, phone and face to face including sending out of supporter packs and checking in with fundraisers

If you feel that you only match some of the skills, or only have capacity to complete part of this role, please still get in touch.

Not only will you be able to support Team Kenya to raise vital funds for our programmes, you will also be part of a wider agenda to amplify the voice of girls and women globally and raise awareness. We may be small, but we are ambitious, and to achieve our goals we rely on the amazing support of the team of volunteers that work with us. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation and without them we would not be able to impact the lives of hundreds of girls and women in Ndhiwa.
