Freelance Fundraiser Goose

This is a fixed contract to support the AMA in exploring income generation opportunities for Goose, an AI powered learning platform co-designed with heritage organisations for heritage professionals across the UK. Within this project we are looking to:

Realise sponsorship opportunities for Goose

Identify funding opportunities and submit applications to further develop Goose

We are looking to work with someone who has experience of fundraising and sponsorship within the heritage sector.

We have developed Goose as part of an Innovation project funded by National Lottey Heritage Fund. We ve been working with developers Make Sense of It to build an AI tool that understands the heritage sector, knows about its seasonal challenges, diverse audiences, limited budget and the balance between preservation and accessibility that defines heritage work.

You can use Goose to :

Create social media content that brings history to life

Develop marketing strategies for exhibitions and events

Write visitor-facing materials

Plan community engagement programmes

Generate fundraising content

Explore different approaches to common challenges

Within Goose you have the opportunity to work with Thinking Partners, a team of specialist advisors available 24/7 a Digital Marketing Manager who knows heritage audiences, a Community Engagement Manager who understands local partnerships, a Fundraising Manager familiar with heritage funding streams. You can bring them into your conversations to support your thinking.

Goose is proving especially helpful for small teams and individuals with a lack of resource and access to a full range of specialist skills. Innovative solutions from one museum can instantly benefit a historic house three hundred miles away. We are not using AI to replace heritage professionals, we are using it to amplify their impact.

As a minimum we would like to see the following outcomes as a result of this work:

List of potential sponsors with contact details and reasons for alignment

1 successful sponsorship agreement in place

List of potential funders with reasons for alignment and recommendations for application content

1 funding application submitted
