Parish Partnership Funding Support Officer

Parish Partnership Funding Support Officer

Through the generosity of our faith communities, parishes fundraise for essential financial resources that sustain the work and mission of the Archdiocese.

To support this vital work, the Office for Financial Development, based at the Dublin Diocesan Offices, works closely with clergy and lay parish leaders to develop sustainable funding strategies. The Office provides practical advice and guidance on fundraising, donor engagement, and income generation, including digital giving, grant applications, tax-efficient donor contributions, and philanthropic initiatives. In addition, the Office contributes to strategic pastoral planning by promoting creative funding initiatives that strengthen the Church’s mission at parish, partnership and diocese level.

As part of its strategic growth, the Office for Financial Development is expanding, presenting an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated team committed to advancing sustainable funding models for parish partnerships.

The Archdiocese is looking for a dynamic and motivated Parish Partnership Funding Support Officer to facilitate strategic fundraising initiatives across parish partnerships. This role is central to helping parishes adapt to evolving patterns of giving and ensuring sustainable financial development.
