About the Fundraising Officer – Trusts and Foundations

As Fundraising Officer – Trusts and Foundations, you will work closely with the Fundraising
Manager and the Chief Executive to grow our income from charitable trusts, foundations and
statutory funding sources, with a particular focus on securing high-value unrestricted and multi-year
funding. You will be a driving force behind our fundraising applications and reports, producing
compelling, tailored fundraising content to drive donor engagement and maximise income

approach for each funder to coordinating grant administration, monitoring and reporting. To
succeed in this role, you will be a skilled and persuasive communicator with a keen eye for
detail, excellent organisation and time management skills and a flexible, highly proactive and
self-motivated approach to your work.

What we are looking for
We are looking for someone with excellent written communication skills who is comfortable drafting compelling and persuasive fundraising applications and reports, often on a tight deadline. You will be able to work effectively with colleagues from across the organisation and build and maintain strong relationships with funders.
It’s essential that you have prior experience fundraising from trusts, foundations and/or statutory funders,
successfully meeting and ideally exceeding income targets as well as a proven record of
securing major grants and donations.
Knowledge of the youth, environmental and/or education sectors is an advantage but not essential.
You can see the full job description and person specification for the role in the Recruitment Pack.
Why work with us?
You’ll be joining a closely-knit, mission-driven team who truly love what they do. We work hard whilst maintaining a
positive work-life balance and spend lots of time outdoors. In 2023, we were recognised by
Escape the City as one of the top progressive places to work from over 13,000 nominations,
after a rigorous assessment across six criteria, including Mission, Impact, People, Planet and
Innovation.
Some of the benefits of working at Action for Conservation include:
Our commitment to diversity
Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an
inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity.
We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority
and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector.
Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of
employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. If the environmental movement is to succeed in
creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart
of our programmes. We therefore encourage people from demographics that are currently
underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.
Guaranteed interview scheme
We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living
with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates
from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed
Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role
HOW TO APPLY
Closing date: 13 March at midnight

Interviews will be held remotely on 25 – 27 March, with the possibility for second interviews,
