London, United Kingdom Trees for Cities Full time

Our Senior Grants Fundraiser leads the grant fundraising team to generate income for all areas of the organisation.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our Senior Grants Fundraiser, you will be responsible for managing effective grants fundraising to support all programmes of work, developing strong relations with funding partners, and securing income to achieve our annual income plan.

To be successful in the role you will drive forward Trees for Cities’ grants fundraising, working closely with the team to develop applications that are tailored to meet the needs of our urban forest programmes and fit closely with funder objectives, leading on large, multi-year applications as required.

We seek a highly motivated, confident individual to join our Fundraising Team. The person we are looking for has proven experience in grant fundraising, ambition to drive growth, and a passion for urban trees and healthy cities, together with strong organisational, inter-personal and communication skills. 

This is a permanent role for an experienced fundraiser to manage and build upon our strong track record of income generation. It is an opportunity to develop new funding relationships and secure vital funds to grow the breadth of our work programmes as we strive to meet the challenges of global climate and biodiversity crises.

ABOUT TREES FOR CITIES

Trees for Cities is an ambitious, far-reaching organisation.

Trees for Cities is the only charity working on a national and international scale to improve people's lives by planting trees in cities. In a world facing unprecedented threats from climate change, loss of biodiversity and disconnection from nature, our work has never been more urgent or important. We are a rapidly growing and developing organisation that suits ambitious, dedicated and passionate staff.

We engage local communities to cultivate lasting change in their neighbourhoods with urban trees, whether it’s creating healthier environments, keeping our cities cool, protecting from flooding or getting people involved in nature. 

We have been in existence for nearly 30 years, engaging communities to plant, protect and promote urban trees in parks, streets, schools and housing estates across the UK and around the world. Through our work, we deliver local impact on a national and global scale, strengthening urban communities through volunteering opportunities and helping to enable and inspire a new generation to plant and protect urban trees. The charity has seen significant organisational growth and development in recent years, including a new senior leadership team to boost capacity and lead a growing organisation.
