The role


The Individual Giving Officer is responsible for managing the programme of fundraising activity aimed at generating a broad range of individual and regular gifts at lower levels and for creating a culture of supporting the College within the alumnae community and beyond.

  • Establish a range of targets for each campaign and evaluate results against these targets
  • Oversee administration connected with these campaigns, including through ensuring prompt and accurate acknowledgement and banking of gifts
  • Understand new and emerging opportunities in individual giving and adjust the Murray Edwards programme to take account of these
  • Assess potential to begin fundraising from beyond the core alumnae community, for example from parents or retired and emeritus staff
  • Oversee the development of a legacy marketing programme, segmenting the Murray Edwards community and developing targeted communications to inspire alumnae and friends to remember the College when they make a will. Establish a formal stewardship programme for legators
