Donations Administrator, AGAINST MALARIA FOUNDATION

Join to apply for the Donations Administrator, AGAINST MALARIA FOUNDATION role at Guardian Jobs

Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) was founded in 2004 and is a charity that fights malaria in a highly effective, accountable and transparent way. We do this by purchasing and distributing multiple millions of long‑lasting insecticide‑treated nets (LLINs) at a time in nationwide universal coverage campaigns. This is the most cost‑effective way of preventing malaria. AMF receives donations from the public and last financial year we received over US $147m.

AMF is particularly data‑focused and monitors and reports on net use and drives and supports innovation to improve the effectiveness of malaria programmes. AMF is the world’s third largest funder of nets. AMF has been consistently rated a top charity for the last 16 years by independent charity evaluators Give Well, Giving What We Can, and The Life You Can Save who focus on cost‑effectiveness and impact.

AMF is recruiting a Donations Administrator to work either four or five days per week. This is a crucial role at AMF as this work is at the heart of managing the donations we receive which allows us to share with donors the specific impact of each donation they make.

online, bank transfer and cheques, across its global portfolio. They will manage email interactions with donors and other organisations as well as undertaking data cleaning or analysis/investigation.
