We are looking for a fundraiser passionate about the environment and trees!

ABOUT TREES FOR CITIES

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. With a portfolio of funders giving over £10,000 annually, you will secure and manage income to grow urban forests and combat the effects of climate change. Come get your hands dirty on planting days and join us!

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.

PURPOSE OF JOB

The Senior Fundraising Coordinator is responsible for generating income from a portfolio of
philanthropic sources (trusts, foundations, individuals and corporates) and statutory bodies to
improve lives by planting trees in cities. Together with colleagues in the Fundraising Team,
you will effectively manage funders and income for the organisation to deliver our goal of
healthy, accessible and resilience urban forests for today and future generations.

With a high number of funding opportunities and a competitive sector for fundraising, you will
be skilled at prioritising funders and opportunities. Your passion for the environment and
urban communities will bring the energy and enthusiasm to compelling funder communications.
Your organisation skills will enable you to manage and deliver grant requirements such as
finance tracking and reporting.

We have achieved consistent, significant income growth – and more is needed to address the
increasing need for urban trees. We now look forward to our next strategy in 2025 for even more
ambitious plans – join us!
