Job Summary

The Fiorentini Foundation is looking for two enthusiastic Fundraising & Events Trustees to help us develop creative and enjoyable ways of raising funds and bringing our community together.

Job Description

The Fiorentini Foundation is looking for two enthusiastic Fundraising & Events Trustees to help us develop creative and enjoyable ways of raising funds and bringing our community together. This is a voluntary, unpaid Trustee position and could suit someone with fundraising or events experience, but equally someone who is organised, full of ideas and enjoys getting involved. We are particularly interested in people who can help us inspire our parents, families and wider community to become more involved in supporting the Foundation.
We are not expecting a Trustee to personally organise every event. We are looking for people who will bring ideas, enthusiasm and practical support, taking ownership of particular projects where appropriate. This could be anything from helping organise a raffle, sponsored challenge or family fundraising activity to developing an idea for a larger Foundation event. Experience in fundraising, events, community engagement, marketing or the charity sector would be beneficial, but is not essential. Experience of engaging parents, families or local communities would also be particularly valuable. Trustees currently attend four meetings per year via Zoom. Additional involvement will vary depending on fundraising campaigns and events, and we understand that Trustees will be fitting the role around other commitments.
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

We would particularly welcome someone who:
- Is enthusiastic about fundraising and enjoys coming up with new ideas.
- Enjoys bringing people together and encouraging others to get involved.
- Is practical and willing to help turn ideas into action.
- Is organised, reliable and works well with others.
- Has good communication and interpersonal skills.
- Shares our commitment to improving access to performing arts opportunities for children and young people.

Job Responsibilities

Essential commitment: Four Zoom meetings per year, preparation for meetings and normal trustee governance responsibilities.
Additional: Sharing ideas, making introductions, championing the charity and offering occasional advice within their expertise.

- Generate practical and achievable fundraising ideas.
- Support specific fundraising campaigns and initiatives throughout the year.
- Find creative ways to involve parents, families and supporters in fundraising.
- Encourage supporters to organise their own fundraising activities where appropriate.
- Help us make the most of fundraising opportunities around performances and events.
- Communicate the impact of fundraising so supporters understand the difference their contribution makes.
Help develop ideas for fundraising and community events.
- Support the team with the planning and organisation of specific events where appropriate.
- Help with practical elements such as raffles, prizes and fundraising activities.
- Help iden
