Overview
If you are looking for a marketing and fundraising role where you can use your expertise to help to create significant positive changes in the world then this could be the role for you.
Ethical Goods is a consultancy with social purpose at its heart. We offer a range of services to help organisations develop innovative ideas that aim to change the world and we provide the people that can make these exciting initiatives happen. We help to find the funding and innovation for charities, social or planet focused enterprises. We also help organisations to get ready for philanthropic or commercial investment by investing our own team and funds to create world changing opportunities for people, planet and profit.
An example of one of our past innovations is VaccinAid in which we aimed to ‘Give the World a Shot’ by building a campaign around the concept of "vaccine gratitude" during the pandemic. We took our idea to one of our clients Crowdfunder and to a number of iNGOs as a potential partner. The world's largest vaccine delivery organisation, UNICEF jumped at the chance to be involved. This idea facilitated other partnerships including match funding from the Gates Foundation and growth from UNICEF UK to other parts of the UNICEF family. The creative agency Mother helped deliver an integrated creative campaign ensuring the appeal was visible in vaccine clinics across the UK, resulting in raising well over £10m. So if you like the idea of helping to create change on this scale, read on…
The Marketing and Fundraising Executive role will support across a wide variety of projects and activities. A fundamental part of the role will be to help with the marketing and communications of Ethical Goods, to generate awareness of our work and attract new business. The other part of the role will be working with our diverse client base on their own marketing, fundraising and partnerships activity.
This is an exciting first or second role for a person with some experience in marketing, communications, fundraising and / or account management, in either a voluntary or employee capacity. We are a small but dynamic team so you will be expected to get stuck in from day one, but you will also be given the opportunity to learn and develop your professional and personal skills, as well as be exposed to the huge network of remarkable people that we work with.
As the role is predominantly homebased you will need to be self-motivated and comfortable with conferencing technology such as Google Meet and Zoom for taking part in daily video meetings.
Travel to our shared workspace in London on a weekly basis is encouraged.

British Airways Better World Community Fund
British Airways is on a journey to create a better, more sustainable future. They've recently launched the BA Better World Community Fund which aims to create life-changing opportunities and generate more positive impact in the communities they serve.
It offers up to £50,000 in extra funding to eligible projects that fundraise via Crowdfunder. You simply submit an application, raise your funds and get to work making a difference.
Aviva Community Fund
The Aviva Community Fund is a long-standing funding pot which supports small charities and community causes that are taking action in the face of climate change. It also helps people to take control of their financial wellbeing. The fund aims to support projects that boost resilience of communities and offers up to £50,000 of additional funding per eligible project.
National Emergencies Trust Local Action Fund
When the pandemic hit, National Emergencies Trust launched a £1.2million Local Action Fund with Crowdfunder to support community and voluntary organisations affected by the pandemic. The good news is that there is still funding available. Through this fund, National Emergencies Trust match donations pound for pound, up to a total of £20,000 per eligible organisation.
The fund focuses on projects taking positive action for people in their communities affected by the pandemic, from supporting mental health, to assisting with financial hardship or helping communities disproportionately impacted by Covid-19. Eligible charities and groups will be able to use the funding in any way that enables their efforts, from covering core costs to launching new local services.
Here’s a great example: Rotary Kew Gardens are supporting the vital work of Richmond food banks and are receiving NET match funding up to the value of £250 per donation to help overcome the effects of the pandemic.
Multiple funding pots
It’s even possible to qualify for multiple funding pots. The Drug of Art is one such project that has obtained additional funding from both NET and BA Better World funding!
Bring your own
On Crowdfunder you can even bring your own funds from a corporate or individual donor. Not only can you highlight how much more you will be able to achieve with the extra funding, you can also raise awareness and publicity for your donor. Here are some example projects who have brought their own match funding to Crowdfunder:
Turn2us – This project is promoting their corporate match funder, Royal London, who are doubling all donations to help the millions of UK households who are facing rising living cost.
Habitat for Humanity - This appeal to support those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine is being very generously matched by Rolls-Royce, up to £1m! The charity is working on the ground providing refugees with temporary accommodation and coordinating medium to long term housing.
