Make Every Woman Count (MEWC) is looking for two outstanding team players with fundraising and resource mobilisation expertise to join our current board as trustees to help steer the charity forward.

MEWC is a small dynamic African women-led organisation, registered in the UK and in Guinea, dedicated to documenting and producing knowledge on women's rights in Africa. Through research, data collection, and analysis, we strive to raise awareness, drive policy changes, and demand accountability from institutions. Our mission is to leverage the knowledge we produce to inform policies, programmes and initiative to champion gender equality and women’s rights in Africa.

About the Role
We are currently looking for two experienced and driven individuals with specialised skills in fundraising and resource mobilisation to join and complement our Board of Directors. The role would suit energetic individuals able to work as part of a team to deliver results.  We would especially appreciate individuals who are not afraid to roll their sleeves up to deliver results.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and support the Board and the MEWC team in the development and implementation of an effective fundraising strategy
  • Work with both the MEWC team and the Board to establish strategic yet achievable fundraising targets and provide insight to track progress towards these goals.
  • Support the process of identifying and cultivating relationships with potential donors and sponsors.
  • Keep updated on the latest trends and best practices in the non-profit sector fundraising.
  • Collaborate with the MEWC Board and staff to reinforce the value of MEWC's work in both the initial and later stages of resource mobilisation and fundraising.
  • Represent MEWC at key networking opportunities together with other MEWC Board Members and the Executive Director.
  • Alongside other board members, offer guidance to the MEWC team to bolster the organisation's public image and reach.

Qualifications
  • Proven experience in successful fundraising for non-profit organisations.
  • Good insight and overview of the funding landscape, as well as a strong network of relationships with funders, donors and sponsors.
  • Ability to think creatively and strategically to develop effective fundraising strategies.
  • Passion for our organisation's mission, vision and values.

Commitment
It is estimated that the role will require the equivalent of at least one day a month. We suggest pacing this out to the equivalent of around 2 hours per week.
