Trees for Cities is the only national charity dedicated to improving lives by planting, protecting and promoting urban trees. We do this by working closely with communities, landowners, partners, and funders to deliver transformational change in towns and cities across the UK and overseas. We plant trees in schools, streets, estates, parks and open spaces to create nature-rich urban woodland, hedgerows, orchards, avenues, and playgrounds.
The incoming Fundraising Director will play a pivotal role in shaping our fundraising approach for this next phase, which may include developing innovative funding streams, potentially exploring green finance and nature-based solutions. Leading a team of six, the Director will drive income generation across corporate donors, trusts and foundations, lotteries, and central government funds to support our ambitious goals in tree planting, community engagement, and environmental equity.
We are seeking a proven fundraising professional with a track record of income generation across complex stakeholder landscapes. The ideal candidate will be an experienced leader and communicator, confident in engaging senior-level partners and supporters to build sustainable and impactful partnerships and diverse income streams. This is a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in urban communities and lead a motivated team at the forefront of climate action.
Trees for Cities is committed to attracting, developing, motivating, and retaining exceptional talent and to a work environment that recognises contribution, fosters respect and teamwork, and facilitates strong performance. We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds, recognising that diversity enriches all staff and our work across the UK and internationally. We do not discriminate on the basis of any protected characteristic including race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or faith, or physical ability.
