Fundraising & Development specialism
TPP supports various non-profit, charitable and public sector organisations, including assisting education providers in securing talent for fundraising and development jobs.
Our fundraising and development candidates possess specialised skills that will allow them to address niche concerns that organisations might possess.
We’re aware of the integral role that fundraising and development play in the activities which non-profit and public sector organisations provide, and we’re enthusiastic to facilitate those activities by providing ambitious candidates that can support your organisation’s goals, whether that’s by arranging events or through the administration of legacy and in memoriam donations.
Fundraising and development job profiles
Fundraising and Development encompasses roles with several competencies, attracting candidates with varied academic and professional backgrounds. It offers a rewarding career for targets-driven candidates, those with a passion for their organisation’s cause and the ability to represent their employer when meeting donors and stakeholders.
Community
Community fundraising engages supporters and volunteers enthusiastic about their organisation and purpose, raising funds within local regions. They might help run events as part of a national strategy or approach previous donors to discuss future contributions. They need to possess strong organisational skills and a gift for communication.
Corporate
As expert relationship-builders, corporate fundraisers are expected to produce captivating bids and market their cause. We support candidates in applying for the best corporate fundraising jobs in the sector. Typical corporate fundraising roles will task candidates with targeting employee fundraising, cause-related marketing (CRM) and charity of the year campaigns.
Direct Marketing and Individual Giving
Typically targeted to a large number of individuals that contribute to non-profit organisations through small donations, direct marketing and individual giving professionals manage outreach and communications with donors. These candidates will be creative in their approach, with expertise in successfully delivering campaigns through a variety of marketing channels, including direct mail, digital media, face-to-face interactions, inserts and DRTV.
Events
Event fundraisers need expert organisational and delegation skills and the ability to negotiate limited budgets to secure venues. They’ll be required to arrange varied events and steward the participants to facilitate the delivery of those events, from fetes and celebrity galas to sponsored sports and television events.
Legacy
Candidates looking to enter the legacy fundraising field will need to evidence their ability to manage long-term external relationships and display an understanding of will execution and probate. Their tasks will involve nurturing the development of new legacy donors and asking supporters to consider leaving an in-memoriam donation.
Major Donor
Major donor fundraising jobs are expected to generate income by sourcing wealthy individuals who have a personal interest in their non-profit or charitable cause. These fundraisers are experts in communication, relationship development and long-term strategy. These roles often attract candidates with commercial sales, marketing or business development backgrounds.
Trusts and Foundations
Fundraising jobs in the trusts and foundations field are focused on raising money from established organisations that deliver investment in the form of grants and gifts. These are often restricted funding grants. These fundraisers are expert writers, delivering high-quality bids and applications to foundations and trusts, meaning that candidates looking to enter the sector need experience in managing and maintaining personal and professional relationships.
Statutory Fundraising
Requiring a similar skillset as that of trusts and foundations fundraising jobs, statutory fundraising usually involves raising funds from international, national, devolved and local governments, research grant-makers and commercial tenders, as well as grant-making NGOs.

Fundraising and development insights and news
I recently worked with TPP Recruitment and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Sema, our recruitment consultant, was great throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Sema was incredibly helpful, providing clear and thorough guidance at every step. Her timely responses ensured that we were always on track, and her deep understanding of our needs helped streamline the process significantly. What stood out most was Sema's unwavering support. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident and informed, making what can often be a stressful experience into a smooth and efficient one. Thanks to Sema and the team at TPP Recruitment!
We really enjoyed working with TPP and they were incredibly flexible towards how we needed to work. We're excited about welcoming our new employee to the team.
Sema approached me via LinkedIn with a job she thought I might be interested in and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. We then had a chat about my career and the role and agreed she'd put me forward for it. Sema then supported me brilliantly through the process, helping with my CV, covering letter and with tips for the interview. I couldn't be happier with Sema and TPP and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a career move.
Really great experience working with my TPP recruiter. They were communicative and supportive throughout my application. I was successful in attaining the job I found through TPP and couldn't be happier to have linked up with them.
I have to mention the outstanding efforts of Sema Hussein from TPP. Sema was a breath of fresh air in my experience of recruiters. She really took the time to listen to my motivations and my situation, which was complex moving over from the property sector into a charity role and not knowing exactly which department would suit my skills and goals.
Frederick Hillinger at TPP Recruitment was invaluable in securing my ideal new position in the social sector within less than a month of me contacting him. Originally reached out to several agents but Frederick stood out as the most professional and personable of them all.
