The Fundraising Executive secures the funding that keeps SOLS Foundation’s programmes running. That means acquiring and retaining donors, managing corporate and institutional relationships, running volunteer and crowdfunding campaigns, writing grants, and reporting to funders. You’ll track progress, keep funders informed accurately and on time, and align funding with what the programmes actually need.

Who the role is for - This is for someone who wants to eventually own fundraising end to end — donor to dollar to report.

You’ll run and grow an established fundraising function that keeps our programmes funded: education, rural electrification, and employment support for rural Orang Asli and Orang Asal communities and urban low-income.
