Welcome to MAP
About MAP
London, United Kingdom (Hybrid) - 2 days per week in the office.
MAP's vision is a future in which all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable and locally led system of healthcare and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity. To achieve this, we work in collaboration with Palestinian communities and trusted local partners, and coordinate with key stakeholders and relevant clusters, to answer a wide range of health and social needs, from providing vital medical aid in emergencies, to supporting the development of better health services for the long term. We also uplift the voices of Palestinians, and campaign for an end to the barriers to health and dignity that come from living through occupation, displacement, discrimination and conflict.
In the past, MAP has grown at times of intense crises for Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees, and then shrunk once these crises have abated. The needs of Palestinians, following developments since October 2023, are now acute and certain to be ongoing for many years to come. That shrinking is not an option for MAP. We must grow sustainably, and we must have a demonstrable positive impact across the communities we serve. Accordingly, we have set ourselves the following strategic ambition, to guide our work until 2028: "MAP will be a high-performing, international organisation with an annual income of at least GBP 50 million by 2028 and to enable one million Palestinians to access quality and effective healthcare every year."
Aligned to the organisational strategy, the overarching purpose of MAP's fundraising approach is: "To enable MAP supporters to play a long-term role in creating a healthier, more dignified future for Palestinian communities by offering meaningful and lasting opportunities to engage, support and amplify." To ensure MAP can achieve our strategic ambition of growth and impact, we are committed to driving our annual income to GBP 50 million by 2028, raising more than GBP 200 million over the strategic period.
About the role
This is a pivotal time to be joining MAP's dynamic Fundraising and Marketing Team. In the last two years we have raised around GBP 100 million. You will play a crucial role in expanding our impact by helping to raise funding for our existing projects, and for the further development and growth of the organisation. We are looking for a proactive, experienced, and motivated individual with the ability to lead and develop an established Trusts and Foundations programme to achieve ambitious income targets. As an integral part of the MAP team, you will be energetic and creative, bringing strong knowledge and leadership to the team.
This is a great opportunity for a results-driven Trusts and Foundations Manager who is passionate about working for the health and dignity of Palestinians to join a fun, dedicated, and ambitious team. We are seeking a dedicated professional who is able to work two days per week in our London office. This is really important to us because this is a donor-facing role with line management responsibilities. It will also involve working with colleagues across the charity. MAP has a flexible working policy to support employees with additional needs, caring responsibilities etc. However, it will not be possible for this role to be completely remote.

About You
We are looking for an ambitious and relationship-focused fundraising professional with a strong track record of securing significant income from Trusts and Foundations. Passionate about humanitarian causes, and motivated by MAP's mission to support the health and dignity of Palestinians, you will bring both strategic vision and hands-on fundraising expertise to this role. You will be able to respond flexibly to the needs of a dynamic and values-driven organisation.
You will have substantial experience managing and growing portfolios of Trusts and Foundations donors, with a proven ability to identify new opportunities, develop compelling funding proposals, and secure significant gifts. You are a confident communicator, able to translate complex programmes and contextual information into persuasive, inspiring cases for support which can be tailored to a wide range of audiences.
With previous line management experience, or a passion for developing others, you are committed to supporting and empowering colleagues to achieve their full potential.
You bring excellent written communication skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a focus on achieving ambitious income targets. You are curious about developments in philanthropy and actively seek out innovative approaches and new funding opportunities, both in the UK and internationally.
Most importantly, you share MAP's commitment to equality, diversity and anti-discriminatory practice, and are inspired by the opportunity to make a tangible difference to the lives of Palestinians affected by conflict, occupation and displacement. You will be able to work in our London office two days a week, as well as travel occasionally in the UK and overseas to meet donors and visit MAP programmes, when required.
