Background
International Detention Coalition (IDC) is the world’s leading network dedicated to ending immigration detention. We are a global coalition, uniting civil society organisations, community groups and individuals working to end immigration detention and promote non-custodial, rights-based alternatives to detention (ATD). We believe refugees, migrants and all people on the move should be able to live freely while they await the outcome of their immigration case, and we advocate to secure the human rights and dignity of all people impacted by and at risk of immigration detention. To this end, IDC strategically builds movements and influences law, policy and practice to end immigration detention and to implement ATD. Our goal is to ensure that human rights are respected in migration systems. This includes community support, meeting basic needs like healthcare, food and housing, and ensuring the right to work, access education and contribute to society. IDC is a highly recognised, impact-driven organisation, offering a stimulating workplace committed to local, national, regional and global change.
Role Purpose
The Development Officer plays a critical role in advancing the mission of IDC by supporting the organisation with its fundraising efforts towards diversification of income and increased sustainability. This role is pivotal in securing grants and funds to sustain and expand the organisation's impactful programmes and advocacy efforts. By effectively coordinating, communicating and executing IDC’s fundraising strategies and logistics, the Development Officer helps drive positive impact and results within IDC.
Role Summary
The Development Officer will work closely with the Executive Director (ED), Operations and Development Manager and other key regional staff to support the organisation's fundraising efforts, specifically focusing on grant and fund acquisition and relationship building. This role involves coordinating the entire donor cultivation cycle, with a focus on identification and qualification of potential prospects, internal grant application coordination, drafting proposals and reports, and grant management. It also includes supporting the Executive Director in cultivation, recognition and stewardship activities (preparation and follow-up), as well as managing various organisational duties related to fundraising activities and in close coordination with IDC’s communications and finance team members.
