Fundraising Assistant

At Foodbank Victoria, we're growing to meet increasing demand for our services across the state. As we continue to expand our impact, we're investing in talented people who share our commitment to supporting Victorian communities.

We are on the lookout for a Fundraising Assistant, who will be a valued member of Foodbank Victoria's Fundraising & Marketing team, supporting the day-to-day administration of our Regular Giving program and donor services. From processing donations and managing supporter data to assisting with campaigns and donor communications, you'll help create positive experiences that strengthen supporter relationships and help ensure Foodbank Victoria can continue supporting communities across Victoria.

Why Foodbank:

Whether it’s everyday emergencies or in times of crisis, Foodbank Victoria has been providing vital food relief to vulnerable Victorians for 96 years. We deliver food to people who need it in three different ways: in partnership with our charity partners, through schools and via our regional Community Food Centres.

Across our network of over 450 charity partners and 1400 schools throughout Victoria, we have distributed over 25.1 million meals in the last 12 months and are currently feeding 76,000 Victorians a day.

While supporting our charity and school partners is at the core of what we do, as the state’s dedicated emergency food relief organisation, we’re also here to assist Victorians through natural disasters, pandemics and the ‘invisible disaster’ caused by the ongoing cost of living crisis.
