Purpose and Main Duties
Since Dr George Birkbeck created the London Mechanics’ Institution in 1823 the organisation that is now Birkbeck, University of London, has been the gateway for ambitious people to study in the evening. In so doing they change their own lives – and make an immediate impact on business, the economy and our entire society.
As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2023, we plan to invest £150 million in widening our intake yet further and raising our standards yet higher. We will find two-thirds of this through revenue income, College reserves and borrowing. The rest must come from philanthropists such as alumni, friends, corporate partners, charitable foundations and believers in Birkbeck, as part of an ambitious fundraising campaign.
The Head of Trusts and Foundations will formally establish the area of charitable trusts and foundations as a philanthropic income stream to sit alongside the already successful individual and corporate areas.
You should have a thorough understanding of fundraising in the higher education sector, together with knowledge of current affairs and government policy relevant to education. You should also have substantial trusts and foundations experience and experience of leading a trusts and foundations programme.
