What Does a Partnerships Manager Do?
The Partnerships Manager leads the organisation's efforts to raise funds and build long-term alliances. The goal is financial sustainability: making sure programmes have the resources to grow and continue. In practice, the role covers several areas.
1. Fundraising strategy and targets
You will design and carry out fundraising strategies tied to clear financial targets. That means planning where funds will come from, setting priorities, and tracking progress.
2. Donor identification and engagement
The role calls for researching and approaching potential funders, including corporates, foundations, grant-making institutions, and individual donors, and securing funding from each.
3. Grant proposals and donor reporting
Strong writing is central here. You will prepare grant proposals, funding applications, and donor reports that communicate impact clearly and persuasively.
4. Relationship building
Fundraising depends on trust. You will build and maintain relationships with both individual and institutional donors so that one-time supporters become long-term partners.
5. Campaigns and events
You will organise fundraising events, campaigns, and donor engagement programmes that bring supporters closer to the mission.
6. Collaboration with programme teams
Funding needs must match strategic priorities. You will work with programme teams to make sure fundraising efforts reflect what the organisation actually needs to deliver.
7. Performance monitoring and reporting
You will monitor fundraising performance and prepare periodic reports for senior management, which needs comfort with data and clear communication.
8. Staying current on trends
The CSR landscape keeps changing. You will follow fundraising trends, CSR initiatives, and shifting donor expectations.
9. Digital and social media fundraising
The role includes designing and running social media strategies that raise brand visibility, engage digital donors, and drive online crowdfunding.
Who Should Apply? Required Skills and Qualifications
The organisation is looking for a seasoned professional. The key requirements are:
6-8 years of fundraising experience in the NGO sector
A proven track record of securing funds from corporates, foundations, and individual donors
Strong proposal writing and presentation skills
Excellent communication and negotiation skills
The ability to manage donor relations and reporting effectively
Knowledge of CSR laws, fundraising compliance, and grant regulations (preferred)
Strong networking and stakeholder management skills
Candidates who have handled CSR partnerships, understand compliance requirements, and can show measurable fundraising results will stand out.
Why This Role Is Worth Considering
Leadership and visibility: Reporting to the Head CSR puts you close to decision-makers.
Permanent position: It offers job stability in a sector where many roles are project-based.
Broad scope: Corporate partnerships, grants, individual giving, events, and digital fundraising all sit under one role.
Purpose-driven work: Your results directly support social initiatives and the organisation's growth.
Strong location: Gurugram is a major corporate hub, which helps with networking and building CSR partnerships.
Tips for a Strong Application
Lead with results. Name the amounts raised, the donors secured, and the campaigns delivered.
Show your range. Highlight experience across corporate, institutional, and individual donors.
Attach a writing sample. A proposal or donor report, with confidential details removed, shows your skills better than a description.
Mention compliance knowledge. Show that you know CSR rules and grant regulations.
Include digital work. Any social media or crowdfunding success is directly relevant.
