Exciting New Fundraising Role

The Foundation for Jewish Heritage is the UK’s only dedicated organisation focused on preserving and activating Jewish built heritage as a catalyst for education, culture, memory and community renewal.

Over the past decade, the Foundation has grown from a small specialist charity into a recognised leader in the field of Jewish built heritage. It has secured major support for nationally significant projects, including a £6 million flagship heritage project at the historic Merthyr Tydfil synagogue supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Welsh Government.

The Foundation is now entering an important new phase. Alongside major project delivery, it is taking on a wider UK role, supporting communities and historic synagogues across the country.  The work is about more than saving buildings. Historic synagogues and heritage sites are gateways into the stories of Jewish life, identity, civic contribution and cultural memory. They offer a powerful way of engaging audiences with the richness and complexity of Jewish history in Britain and across Europe.

The Foundation has reached a point where its fundraising needs to match the scale of its ambition.  It needs a more structured, proactive and relationship-led fundraising function.

The Head of Development is not simply a fundraising support post. It is a strategic development role for someone who can combine relationship building, major donor fundraising, compelling written communication, careful stewardship and long-term pipeline management.  The successful candidate will help turn the Foundation’s growing profile into sustained philanthropic support.
