This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced fundraiser ready to lead and shape the fundraising function at a growing, well-established charity. 

The Race Equality Foundation operates in a complex, fast-moving environment – spanning research, policy, programme delivery and fundraising – and this role sits at the centre of it, working closely with the Chief Executive and the SMT to lead the Foundation's major grants strategy and drive significant growth in Trust and Foundation income.

We are looking for someone with a strong work ethic and a genuine commitment to the Foundation's mission, who is energised by complexity, and who brings a solutions-first mindset to ambiguous or competing demands. This role requires sound judgement about priorities: high-value, strategic applications and bids come first; relationship-building and smaller applications, while valuable, are secondary but still under their remit.

You will represent the Foundation in public, government and funder-facing spaces, often providing context on the Foundation’s multi-pronged approach and its broader mission to end racism and inequity in the UK. 

You will have responsibility to identify, prioritise and pursue new major funder relationships, lead on high-value, multi-year proposals, and represent the Foundation’s fundraising function at a senior level, internally and externally.
