The Charity 

In 2011 we first worked with 17 years olds in one state school, and since then the MEF has grown to partnering one-fifth of London state schools, nearly 100 schools.  We offer something very special to students, individually or as groups – the chance to plan and carry out adult-free a significant non-academic personal challenge, chosen by themselves, and which is theirs, they are in the driving seat.  Our award winners develop greater confidence and resilience, stronger teamwork skills, enhanced social capital, and greater employability with stronger CVs and UCAS forms.  

Our Schools’ Team visits schools to offer students the opportunity, monitors their applications and safety, and give them expenses for their projects. In 2022/23 we had nearly 4000 assembly sign-ups, who submitted (as groups or individuals) 600 applications:  finally, there were 500 awardees.

The charity has at its root the story and the values of Lt Mark Evison, who at the age of 26 sustained mortal wounds in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2009, while trying to get his platoon to safety when they came under attack. He continues to inspire young Londoners from all backgrounds.   

What we are looking for  

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated fundraiser, who will secure regular income and drive forward fundraising for our vision – to make opportunities for personal growth accessible to all 17 years olds in state schools in London, enriching young lives, improving well-being, and growing personal dreams, all at a reasonable cost.  

We want someone with a breadth of knowledge across a portfolio of income streams, but with particular skills set and experience in generating income from small and medium business and corporate donors, major and regular donors, trusts and foundations, and statutory services. They should have robust experience of developing and securing income from new income streams, generating leads and successfully engaging prospects to drive income plans. There is the opportunity to grow income from regular giving, legacies, and developing a patron programme.

The post is up to three days a week, with scope for flexibility of time for the right candidate.

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years fundraising experience, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and confidence working with a range of different stakeholders. Experience of working in a similar organisation with a track record of securing five figure gifts, and a knowledge of data base systems is highly desirable.

We offer 25 days holiday pa (pro rata) plus public holidays, and employer contribution to pension.

Affiliates are funded by the Wikimedia Foundation, and some in independent fundraising to support their activities.

The Wikimedia Foundation seeks a Fundraising Training Consultant to work with Wikimedia affiliates to grow and develop their fundraising processes and capacity. In this one-year, 30 hour/week contract role (with potential option for renewal) you will be responsible for working with affiliates to understand their fundraising needs and challenges, and to provide them strategic guidance and support as they put in place necessary structures and processes that will aid their fundraising efforts. This role will focus on building the capacity of affiliates to raise funds from a variety of new-to-the-movement donors, including government, multinational and multilateral funding opportunities, and local high networth individuals, as well as advising on systems and structures (e.g. Board composition) for strategic fundraising.

With affiliates located around the globe, the person in this role will need to be skilled in relationship management and cross-cultural communication. This role involves close collaboration with affiliate fundraisers and leadership.  You will report to the Major Gifts Stewardship Manager (Fundraising) and work closely with the Vice President of Community Growth. This is a one-year contract and remote role that offers flexible scheduling with a commitment of 30 hours per week.

As a result of your efforts, our affiliate partners will be better equipped to engage in independent fundraising.

About Global Witness

Our goal is a more sustainable, just and equal planet where humanity is propelled forward, away from the toxic practices of the past. This means fossil fuels staying in the ground, climate-critical forests standing tall and those on the frontline fighting the climate crisis, who defend our planet, are protected from persecution and attacks. 

We want justice for those disproportionately affected by the climate crisis: people in the global south, indigenous communities and communities of colour, women and younger generations. And that the necessary energy transition is done equitably and with the interests of those groups in mind.

To do this we have to stand up to the corporate drivers of the climate crisis - the fossil fuel companies that continue to extract and burn when the science is telling us to stop, the global banks financing deforestation and the businesses that turn a blind eye, or worse are complicit in, attacks on defenders.

For us to succeed, we need to embody the principles we fight for. Global Witness strives for cohesion, solidarity, and inclusion as only together can we protect one another and the planet to build a better and more just future.

About the role

Working across Global Witness’s campaigns within a larger data team, you will support our larger data investigations.  Using a range of tools and techniques, including data storytelling, analysis, bots and webscraping, you will highlight the role of corporations in worsening the environmental and climate crises.

About you

You will bring core data specialist skills, in particular in financial analysis, natural language processing, remote sensing and accessing and using open data.

We want to evolve, grow and develop and so want to hear the data analysis and presentation skills you could bring to our work.

Finally, you’ll have a strong affinity to Global Witness’ values, working collaboratively internally and externally to achieve maximum impact. 

Working for us

Global Witness has a talented team of people worldwide with offices in London, Washington DC, and Brussels. We aim to be a diverse and inclusive place to work. We value new perspectives, original ideas, and different ways of working. We believe that diverse views and experiences improve the way we do our work.
