Director of Fundraising, Fundraising Director

Explanation:
The YMCA, the Macmillan Cancer Relief and the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty against Children) has Director of Fundraising, just to mention three large, well-known organisations.
Alternatively, Fundraising Director, but I prefer the first.
