The successful candidate will expand on existing fundraising to develop a contemporary, values-aligned fundraising program, including community and major donor fundraising, trusts and foundations, and gifts in wills.

Lived experience of being a single mother (current or past) is essential, as is a successful track record in fundraising for social justice.

Who we are

Council of Single Mothers and their Children (CSCM) is a non-profit organisation founded 56 years ago by single mothers to secure a better life for women parenting alone and their children. We achieve change by championing the agency, rights and needs of single mothers and their children and providing specialist support services, most significantly through the Support Line.

Single mothers turn to CSMC for support,



information and assistance to secure basic human rights such as financial security; affordable housing; flexible work and education opportunities; legal protection; and health, safety and wellbeing for themselves and their children. We advocate on these issues, informed by our service users, 6200 historical and current members, and strong social media following.

The Fundraising Manager will be a strategic thinker who is hands-on, proactive and able to work autonomously. They will work closely with the CEO, communications staff, and the support services to articulate CSMC’s impact and build and diversify CSMC’s revenue.

Working from a self-help model, CSMC employs only women who are or have been single mothers. This falls within the exception contained in section 28 of the Equal Chance Act 2010. First Nations single mothers and those from culturally diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
