Your Impact
As Philanthropy Manager, you'll help grow Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation's philanthropy program, with a focus on major donors, trusts and foundations, Gifts in Wills and strategic donor stewardship.
You'll build and deepen relationships with high-value supporters, developing tailored strategies that increase philanthropic investment in Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia's mission.
The Role
Reporting to the Global Head of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications, you will:
Manage and grow a portfolio of major donor prospects and supporters
Identify, cultivate, solicit and steward high-net-worth individuals
Build relationships with trusts and foundations and develop compelling proposals and reports
Contribute to the growth and stewardship of the Gifts in Wills program

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building relationships, developing philanthropic opportunities and turning those relationships into meaningful support. You'll bring initiative, sound fundraising judgement and the confidence to take ownership of a growing philanthropy portfolio.
The Organisation




Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation (CHFF) supports Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, providing life-changing treatment to women affected by obstetric fistula — a devastating childbirth injury that can leave women incontinent and facing stigma, isolation and loss of dignity.
Founded by Australian doctors Catherine and Reg Hamlin, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia treats and prevents fistula through specialist care, education and midwifery training.
Based at CHFF's Pyrmont headquarters, you'll help grow the philanthropic support that makes this work possible.
