Merri Creek Management Committee Fundraising Subcommittee is undergoing a refresh. We are now looking for a number of creative, organised, and proactive specialist fundraisers to join us to lead and support our ongoing fundraising activities. As a Subcommittee member you’ll work with others and play a key role in planning what our fundraising future looks like and getting your hands dirty organising activities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a creative fundraising professional who thrives on making a meaningful impact? Your expertise and experience will help us grow our revenue streams, strengthen relationships with donors, and create sustainable giving programs that ensure our work continues to have an impact on the environment and within the community.

MCMC’s fundraising is undergoing a refresh. Our current fundraisers have been leading activities for some time, and we are looking to bring in some new members to widen our experience and skill. Together our new subcommittee will do some planning for future fundraising that lines up with MCMC’s revenue needs. You’ll work alongside others to plan and coordinate fundraising events, improve our online fundraising, and identify and build relationships with new donors.

ABOUT YOU

• You live for fundraising!
• You have skills and experience in working with donors and supporters, building relationships with funders, online fundraising, or organising fundraising events.
• You have excellent communication skills, written and verbal, and are experienced at working in a small team.
• You share our values and ways of working – collaboratively, in partnership with our community and stakeholders.
• You’re passionate about our environment, and the important role that community-focused and supported organisations have in protecting and restoring significant environmental assets – if not, we’ll help you get there!

We’re building a new team so are looking for members with skills and experience across the range of fundraising activities.
