JACQUELINE FITZGERALD

MAJOR GIFT FUNDING ASSOCIATE

Jacqueline is a highly-experienced fundraiser with a proven track record in high value relationships and philanthropy for over 18 years. Jacqueline developed her broad knowledge and understanding of philanthropy, fundraising and marketing with two major organisations: Cancer Research UK, the largest charity in the UK raising over £500m annually, and the Natural History Museum, London.

Of particular significance, Jacqueline held a lead role in a £100m capital appeal for Cancer Research UK and the Francis Crick Institute, with sole responsibility for the public campaign, raising £10m. This work included case for support development, complex stakeholder relationship management involving very senior stakeholders, the CEO and Chairman of the Board. Jacqueline successfully developed relationships with major donors, high value corporates, trusts and foundations.

For many years, Jacqueline led a highly successful special events programme (£4m p.a.) with individual events raising in excess of £850,000. At the heart of the success of each of these events was relationship fundraising with high value individuals and stakeholders, who engaged with the organisation through the events, and with close stakeholder management developed into long term committed supporters for the charity.
