The role
What a fundraising manager actually does, day to day.
As a fundraising manager, you work for a charity or non-profit organisation to bring in the money it needs to survive and grow. You find people and businesses who might want to give money or support, then explain to them what your organisation does and why it matters. You might run fundraising events, write proposals to big funders, or manage social media campaigns asking for donations.
Your day might involve planning a fundraising dinner, meeting potential donors to tell them your charity's story, or analysing which campaigns brought in the most money so you know what to do next time. You need to be creative, good with people, and interested in the cause your charity supports - because your job is to make people believe in it too.
