Homelessness charity Crisis has created several fundraising roles aimed at driving high-value giving as part of a campaign to raise £30m over the next three years.
The charity is seeking to appoint a high-value proposition development manager to attract major donors, trusts and philanthropists, as well as a high-value stewardship manager and an administrator.
Deadlines to apply for all three roles are in the next couple of weeks, with the two more senior positions offering salaries of just under £48,000.
A spokesperson for Crisis told Civil Society that the new roles would help it to achieve its aim of raising £30m to cover the cost of 100 London and Newcastle homes in the next three years.
“As a charity that receives very little government funding, we know we will need to scale our philanthropy and partnerships support to realise our ambitions,” they said.
“Given this, we are investing in roles that help us provide the very best experience to our high-value allies and supporters.”
Announcing the housing scheme last year, the charity said it would become a landlord for the first time when it buys the homes, with an aim to purchase at least 1,000 over the next decade.
In April, the charity received £6.9m from Lloyds Banking Group to fund its home-buying project.
Speaking about the new roles on LinkedIn, Tamsin Baxter, Crisis executive director of brand, marketing and fundraising, said: “We have set ourselves some really exciting, ambitious and bold targets within Crisis’ 10-year strategy.
“We are building out, in particular, our high-value fundraising teams […] and we have a very supportive senior leadership team and board who will help us do that.”
Crisis accounts
In its accounts, Crisis groups the amounts it raises from major donors together with all individual givers, which totalled £38.2m in the year to 30 June 2025.
Crisis received £3.13m from corporates and trusts in 2024-25 and £5.92m from legacy donations.
The charity’s total income was £67.2m in 2024-25, below its £68.2m expenditure.
Earlier this year, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published a “roadmap” to boost place-based philanthropy in England, backed by £1m of funding in April.
DCMS’s Our Place to Give plan has aimed to make it easier for society’s wealthiest to give back to communities.
