Volunteer Fundraising Volunteer

What will you be doing?

NGA Newington Green Alliance is a UK registered charity carrying out events and other projects geared toward building community connections and relationship across all the many ethnic, cultural, class, and other differences in the areas of Hackney and Islington surrounding Newington Green, London. ROLE We are seeking volunteers to carry out grant-writing and other fundraising work to enable NGA to do more and better community-building work in an expanding geographical area.

What are we looking for?

Volunteers should have at least three years experience in charity fundraising. They should have had involvement in or understanding of such funding mechanisms as:

Grant funding Event funding Corporate support of charities Government commissioning Crowd funding Fundraising through individual donations

The volunteer should be able to work in an ever-changing environment, to be comfortable working remotely, flexible, responsible, responsive, and an excellent spoken and written communicator. The volunteer should be able to commit to volunteering for at least six months for at least three hours per week.

What difference will you make?

NGA is an unusual charity working to build better lives through strengthening community. Volunteers in the role will be able to help NGA make a transition from the limitations of an all volunteer organisation to a staffed charity with greater capabilities, skills, resilience, and organisation. This will be a tremendous positive shift in NGA's ability to carry out its mission. Success in this transition will mean that NGA can fully prove its proposal that deep community building is a powerful, effective, and efficient path to greater community resilience and thriving.
