GREENPEACE AUSTRALIA PACIFIC

Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organisation, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future. Our priority focus in the Australia Pacific region is tackling climate change.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position for a 12-month contract.

THE TEAM

The Gifts in Wills Coordinator works in the Gifts in Wills program, which is part of the High Value Team. The High Value Fundraising team works to attract new supporters and donors to Greenpeace Australia Pacific (GPAP) so that we can grow our people-powered movement and impact. As Greenpeace campaigns are 100% funded by individual supporters, it is vital that we grow our base of supporters and donors so that we can remain fiercely independent as we fight together for our fragile planet and the magnificent diversity of life that call it home.

Our team facilitates key streams of financial support to fund high-impact campaigns that provide a voice for this fragile planet. Greenpeace is and always will be independent which means that we never accept any money from any government, business or political party.

The Gifts in Wills program focuses on encouraging loyal supporters to leave a charitable gift in their will to Greenpeace. We do this by providing warm, informed and inspirational interactions with them. The program also focuses on acquiring new supporters and inspiring the public to learn more about this form of giving, through a diverse range of activities and channels.

THE ROLE

The Gifts in Wills Coordinator will collaborate closely with the Gifts in Wills Manager, to manage day-to-day tasks across acquisition and retention across both telefundraising and digital fundraising activities.

• Maintain and input data within our CRM system

In this role, you will also work closely with the rest of the High Value Team and provide support to the Middle Donor and Major Donor programs as needed, helping to power Greenpeace campaigns. This is a great role to learn more about Gifts in Wills and High Value fundraising, while helping to protect the planet.
