Job Summary
Job Description
Music for All is looking for a new Fundraising Trustee!
As Music for All celebrates its 30th birthday, we are entering an exciting and pivotal new chapter. Five years ago, we became an independent charity and, since then, have grown our impact fourfold. Now, with an ambitious 2030 Vision, we are determined to accelerate our impact in response to growing need and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the life-changing benefits of music making.
Music for All is looking to co-opt a new Fundraising Trustee who is passionate about our mission and can help us build the partnerships and income we need to reach even more people across the UK.
Last year alone, we supported nearly 21,000 people across the UK, an increase of almost 75% on the previous year. We awarded nearly £225,000 in grants, distributed almost £15,000 worth of donated instruments, and partnered on initiatives that helped nearly 7,000 people living with dementia experience the life-changing benefits of making music.
As our impact continues to grow, we are looking for someone with strong experience in fundraising, sponsorship and development who can help us identify new opportunities, build strategic relationships and strengthen our income generation.
This is an exciting opportunity to help guide a charity that is expanding its reach, influencing change across the music, education and health sectors, and working to ensure everyone has the opportunity to experience the proven benefits of making music.
We actively welcome applications from all backgrounds, identities and lived experiences, including those from underrepresented and marginalised communities.
Applications close at 9am on Thursday 9 October.
Job Requirements
We are looking for trustees with an interest in, and a passion for creativity and the arts, and for the core purpose of
Music for All. We are looking for people who can bring a mix of skills, networks and experiences, together with the
enthusiasm and capacity to work with other trustees and the office team. In addition, expert knowledge is sought to
support the strategic direction of the charity in its next phase of growth.
We are seeking new trustees with skills and experience in the area of corporates and fundraising; helping the board
to identify corporate sponsorship and fundraising opportunities and sharpen the focus of Music for All's
developmental growth, as well as supporting the realisation of key fundraising opportunities.
First time trustees with relevant skills and commitment will be welcomed and full trustee training can be given as
required. Music for All strives to maintain diversity in its award recipients, staff, volunteers and on the Board.
