ABOUT Relief International. 

Relief International (RI) is a leading nonprofit organization working in 16 countries to relieve poverty, ensure well-being and advance dignity. We specialize in fragile settings, responding to natural disasters, humanitarian crises and chronic poverty. 

Relief International combines humanitarian and development approaches to provide immediate services while laying the groundwork for long-term impact. Our signature approach — which we call the RI Way—emphasizes local participation, an integration of services, strategic partnerships and a focus on civic skills. In this way, we empower communities to find, design and implement the solutions that work best for them. 

RI includes the four corporate members of the RI Alliance: RI-US, RI-UK, MRCA/RI-France and RI-Europe.  Under our alliance agreement, we operate as a single, shared management structure. 

RI is active in 16 countries around the world, including some of the most fragile: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.  Often, RI is the only organization providing assistance to highly vulnerable communities.  

RI employs 7,000+ staff and auxiliary workers 

97% of staff are local nationals 

We only have some 90 ex-pat staff out of 7,000+ 

RI spent $150 million in 2019 on our programs 

Often, RI is the only organization providing assistance to highly vulnerable communities.  

RI invests in four broad program sectors:  Economic Opportunity, Education, Health, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.  We design our programs to incorporate The RI Way:  local participation, integrated programming, the development of civic skills, and complementary partnerships including with local NGOs, governments, and the private sector.  RI supports solutions that reinforce and improve upon existing in-country systems. Where such systems do not exist or are chronically underperforming, RI’s crisis response lays the foundation for long-term, sustainable change.

Fundraising Manager

Plant Your Future is an international grassroots environmental charity with the vision of a restored Amazon Rainforest. To achieve this, we’re working to promote sustainable farming with Peruvian smallholder farmers, empowering them to adopt agroforestry and generate sustainable incomes through sale of sustainably harvested fruit, timber and carbon credits. Our work is not only an effective way to tackle climate change, but it also reduces the deforestation pressure on the rainforest and helps protect irreplaceable high conservation value rainforest biodiversity, including threatened animal and bird species. To date, we have helped 17 rural communities in the Loreto and Ucayali regions of the Peruvian Amazon to plant over 150,000 trees. Right now, we’re in the middle of a significant scale-up, with a plan to plant one million trees by 2025 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated self-starter with a successful track-record in fundraising to help Plant Your Future continue to grow and achieve its goal of planting a million trees and beyond. 

You will be working closely with the Board of Trustees, as well as other volunteers. The role is home-based, although ability to travel to donor meetings, events and to meetings with the PYF Trustees is expected.

Apply online through charityjob with a cover letter and CV explaining why you want to work with Plant Your Future and the expertise you bring.
