We are looking for a Fundraising Consultant

Sutton Community Farm is looking for consultancy support to fundraise £100,000 – £250,000 in grants from institutional donors for the farm in the next 12 to 24 months.

The next 12 months will be financially challenging for the farm as we confront increasing costs as well as decreasing retail income from our online farm shop sales due to the cost of living crisis. We urgently need financial support to continue delivering our high impact activities in volunteering, training and sustainable food. 

Please share this opportunity with your networks!

Project Scope

  1. Review background SCF documents, including SCFs strategy, previous applications, financial documents.
  2. Research and prioritise potential opportunities. SCF already has a list of potential donors which could be initially considered prior to exploring other opportunities. 
  3. Prepare and submit proposals, facilitating a timely internal review / consultation process with key stakeholders within the SCF team.
  4. Support the SCF team in following up with potential donors to respond to any questions or clarifications they may have. 
  5. Throughout the process, work together with the SCF team to build their fundraising skills
