The Better Cotton Initiative is looking for a Fundraising Manager to lead on and further develop its philanthropic income generation. BCI is a multi-stakeholder initiative—from producer to retailer—who have decided to act together to reduce damaging environmental and social consequences of cotton production.

The Fundraising Manager will be responsible for developing the BCI fundraising strategy, leading on proposal creation and prospect identification and coordinate fundraising work internally, while delivery will be a whole team effort. The position forms part of the management team and reports to the Executive Director. In addition to our management team, you will find a skilled and committed group of BCI members from the corporate sector ready to support you with introductions and their powerful presence at donor meetings. Our members have already committed over Euro4 million in match-funding to philanthropic grants, providing the BCI with access to significant grant funding for us and our first tier partners. They have also attended donor meetings and opened doors to key funders. You will be supported by a part time fundraising officer.
