• Support and involve senior management and trustees as necessary in the development of relationships with current and potential funders.
• Support the identification and research of new Trust and Foundation prospects, as well as individual supporters within our current networks, to cultivate and turn into financial supporters.
• Maintain up to date and accurate records, making sure donations and contact points are recorded to ensure data accuracy and effective donor stewardship.
• Support the collection and presentation of budgets and relevant financial information of Anthony Nolan’s projects to include in proposals and funding reports.
