We are seeking a passionate Income and Sustainability Advisor to assist our team. We are currently run by volunteers and raise money to continue the work we do through, fundraising and donations, grants, product sales, running workshops and experiences, hosting family fun days, as well as rent from our partner businesses. Our aim is to reduce reliance on grant funding and build our income generating activities over the coming years to ensure the long-term viability and security of FarmEco.

The volunteer will play a crucial role in developing and implementing income generating and fundraising strategies to promote long-term financial sustainability of the organisation, our diverse range of programmes and initiatives. This could include, but is not limited to:

• Assessing current income streams and, with support of the wider FarmEco team, creating a strategic plan to diversify and maximise income generation and reduce reliance on external fundraising
• Exploring opportunities to maximise current infrastructure/resources to increase profitability of activities
• Establishing criteria for membership and shares in the organisation as per our constitution
• Managing, developing, and seeking new donor relationships
• Supporting the FarmEco team to improve financial sustainability of projects
• Sourcing and securing external grant funding.

The volunteer will work with the (soon to be appointed) CEO and others involved in grant writing. This position is flexible and open ended, but we would hope you could contribute 3-4 months support at least.
