This involves seeking fundraising opportunities, helping to complete the paperwork in relation to these opportunities and helping to ensure that they run smoothly. They will also be expected to liaison with supermarkets to help MaS get involved with their fundraising schemes.”

The Fundraising Officer (FO) has one major job. Ensure a steady flow of income into the charity as needed.

In terms of money, they should proactively seek out opportunities to fundraise and bring these to committee. They will then be expected to help organise them and do the paperwork for them. They will need to work with the Treasurer for this. They are expected to communicate with supermarkets as part of this and work to get onto their fundraising schemes. Advice on this can be found in the Google Drive under finance. They will also need to work with individuals to support them in their fundraising efforts.

There’s a number of opportunities that it’s the responsibility of the Fundraising Officer to promote and organise. This includes the series of charity collection pots we have that can be put into shops and public buildings and the easyfundraising website. These should be promoted using the recommended tools. There’s a number of other options that can be considered including holding a raffle as many businesses may consider donating a prize and business sponsorships as businesses like to support local charities, be in financial, donation of a product like a wig or a service like dry cleaning. The officer should send some emails to explore these options.

As Fundraising Officer, you will also be expected to ensure your committee is advertising EasyFundraising and People’s Fundraising to any social media for your chapter.

This role is very much dependent upon how much work the FO is willing to put in. It is suggested that that liaison with societies and supermarkets to organise the fundraisers, as well as help volunteers with their personal efforts and charity-wide events such as Survival Games.
