Ben Alonso

Background I have been working in the Third Sector for the past 7 years. I am a confident self-starter who believes that anything is possible with impeccable planning, good communication and a positive and proactive mind-set. I am a strategic thinker, who isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves with operational leadership and enjoys developing internal talent. Where do I see myself in 3 years? I will be in a position where I can influence strategic direction, develop a team to get the best out of any situation and strive for a positive outcome. This position will be in an organisation that I strongly believe in its aims, values and mission. I have experience in: Community Fundraising (on a local and an area level) Events Fundraising (Third party, Challenge, Mass Participation Events and Corporate/HVD events) Corporate Partnerships and Account Management Grant and Appeal Management Major Donor initiatives (Four and Five figure asks) Managing Data Lottery Administration and Marketing Fundraising Strategy Branding Coaching Volunteer Management Campaign Management Trustee Experience
