Job Summary

The Fiorentini Foundation is seeking a Corporate Partnerships Trustee to help us build meaningful, long-term relationships with businesses and corporate partners.

Job Description

The Fiorentini Foundation is seeking a Corporate Partnerships Trustee to help us build meaningful, long-term relationships with businesses and corporate partners. We are looking for someone who understands how companies engage with and support charities and who can help us identify opportunities, make introductions and develop our corporate partnerships. This is a voluntary, unpaid Trustee position and would particularly suit someone with experience in corporate partnerships, business development, CSR/ESG, sponsorship, fundraising or a related field.
This role is not about one volunteer being solely responsible for generating corporate income. We are looking for someone who can bring expertise, ideas, introductions and strategic direction while working with the wider team to develop opportunities.
A strong corporate or professional network would be valuable but is not essential. Previous charity or Trustee experience is also not required.
Trustees currently attend four meetings per year via Zoom. The additional time commitment will vary depending on partnership opportunities and may occasionally include meetings with potential partners or attendance at Foundation performances and events.
Working alongside our associated performing arts organisation, help us develop opportunities for companies to engage with us through creative corporate activities such as:
- Team-building events and workshops.
- Acting and improvisation.
- Confidence and communication.
- Public speaking and presentation skills.
- Bespoke creative experiences for corporate teams.
- Help us identify organisations that may benefit from these services and advise on how best to promote them within the corporate market.
We recognise that our trustees have busy professional and personal lives. We're not looking for people to undertake day-to-day operational roles, but for enthusiastic individuals who can share their knowledge, ideas and connections to help our charity flourish.

Job Requirements

- Has experience in corporate partnerships, business development, CSR/ESG, sponsorship, fundraising, marketing or a related field.
- Understands how businesses select and work with charity partners.
- Is confident building professional relationships and making introductions.
- Can think commercially and creatively about potential partnerships.
- Has strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Is willing to use their professional experience and, where appropriate, their network to help open doors.
- Shares our commitment to improving access to performing arts opportunities for children and young people.
Essential commitment: Four Zoom meetings per year, preparation for meetings and normal trustee governance responsibilities.
Additional contribution: Sharing ideas, making introductions, championing the charity and offering occasional advice within their expertise.

Job Responsibilities

- Develop a strategy for engaging businesses and corporate partners.
- Identify companies whose values and objectives align with our work.
- Help us pursue Charity of the Year and other charity partnership opportunities.
- Introduce the Foundation to relevant businesses, contacts and professional networks.
- Develop relationships from initial introduction through to longer-term partnerships.
- Identify opportunities for corporate sponsorship of our work.
- Explore other forms of corporate support, including donations, matched giving, employee fundraising and volunteering.
- Encourage potential partners to attend performances and events to experience the impact of our work first-hand.
- Advise on what businesses look for when choosing charity partners and how we can strengthen our proposition.
- Identify realistic opportunities and prioritise where our resources are best spent.
Act as an ambassador for the Foundation.
