The role is responsible for providing support, encouragement and resources to runners participating in the event, and helping them reach their fundraising goal, whilst raising the profile of the event and For Wild Places.
The Fundraising Manager plays an important role in the success of the event, as the aim of the event is to raise funds to support the community of the Pilliga Forest, to save this inland forest from coal seam gas exploitation. If you are motivated, innovative and passionate about grassroots campaigning, trail running and protecting the environment, then we want to hear from you. The Fundraising Manager will work in close partnership with the Event Manager, and be familiar with Raisley for fundraising.
