Head of Trusts and Foundations

Greenpeace UK

Location: London, UK

Salary: This role is positioned with a salary range of £63,756 - £70,236 pa.

Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction.

Our vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.  To make this a reality, we transform politics, industry and society to create a greener and fairer world.  Our mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way.  Together we show up, we stand up, and we get things done.  And we’ll do it again tomorrow.

In the last five decades, Greenpeace has become one of the foremost environmental organisations in the world, winning victories that have put climate and nature protection on the map. Fast forward to the present day, and we have gained huge momentum. Our movement is booming, environmentalism is mainstream and the solutions are more viable than ever. We look to the future from a position of strength. Now is the time to seize it.

We’re at a pivotal point in human history to turn the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss.  In order to ensure our campaigning efforts continue to be effective and to keep up the pressure on government and businesses, we fundraise from private individuals and charitable trusts and foundations who help us continue our work.  Our high-performing Fundraising Department contributes significantly towards a Global Capital Campaign to raise EUR100M for a new ship, and there is so much more we want and must do.  We are therefore looking for two talented high-value fundraising specialists and leaders to lead key areas of our activity and ensure that we continue to sustainably grow our philanthropic income. 

The Head of Trusts and Foundations is a leadership role within our Key Relationships team.  You will provide strategic direction and drive significant growth in income from charitable trusts and foundations.  This is a chance to lead a critical area of our fundraising mix, and create a step-change in activities and outcomes to increase the number and longevity of donors giving at the six and seven-figure grant level.  You will have the support of a small team as well as a well-developed operations unit, to drive our programme forward.

It is therefore essential that you bring a proven and successful track record of securing gifts from trusts and foundations at the six-figure level or more, as well as managing people and getting the best out of them.  Your creativity and highly developed relationship building skills and analytical abilities have underpinned your success so far, and you enjoy working in lock-step with colleagues to craft and convey compelling stories and cases to secure philanthropic support.  To be a successful leader in our Key Relationships team will require resilience, adaptability, and solutions-focussed approach. 

We are at a crucial point in time for both the planet and our futures.  If you are excited by the opportunity to play a significant role in turning the tide on environmental destruction and want to see a fairer, more equitable planet for all through engaging philanthropic support, please consider applying.  We’d love to hear from you.

Greenpeace UK is partnering with Richmond Associates in this search.  For a confidential discussion or to get more information on the role, please contact Richmond Associates on email or call +44 (0)20 3617 9240.

About Hatch

Hatch Enterprise is an award-winning charity that exists to level the playing field in entrepreneurship. Our beneficiaries build businesses that tackle some of society's most vital challenges through social enterprise, addressing a wide range of socioeconomic problems, from homelessness to community cohesion, healthcare and climate change.

We recognise that talent is distributed equally, but opportunities are not. Too many people with ideas and ambition never get the chance to turn them into thriving businesses that create lasting social change. That’s why we’re on a mission to nurture innovation across the UK’s diverse society, to build a fairer, more sustainable economy that works for everyone.
We are a team of 20 passionate changemakers, working alongside underrepresented founders across the UK to help them imagine, launch and grow sustainable businesses, community interest companies and charities. Our work is rooted in belief in human potential, practical support and deep connection to the communities we serve.

In early 2026, Hatch will launch its first three-year fundraising campaign - a defining moment that will allow us to back more innovators, push boundaries and create lasting social, environmental and economic change both for those we support, and the people they serve through their ventures.This role sits right at the heart of that ambition

The role

This maternity cover role offers a meaningful opportunity to help secure the funding that makes our work possible at a pivotal point in Hatch’s journey.

Reporting to the Director of Fundraising & Engagement, you will lead the delivery of Trusts & Foundations, Statutory and Major Donor fundraising, while managing our inspiring partners, you will build new income pipelines aligned to Hatch’s pioneering programmes. You will also support the launch and early delivery of our three-year fundraising campaign.

Alongside hands-on fundraising, you will line manage, mentor and develop the Fundraising Manager, helping to build confidence, capability and strong, future-focused fundraising practice.

What you’ll be doing

• Securing transformational funding from Trusts & Foundations, Statutory and Major donors, enabling more underrepresented founders to turn ideas into sustainable businesses.

• Building and stewarding a strong pipeline of opportunity, ensuring Hatch can grow its reach and respond to demand with confidence.

• Crafting and delivering compelling proposals and presentations that bring Hatch’s mission, impact and ambition to life and inspire partners to invest in change.

About you

You are someone who believes deeply in fair access to opportunity and understands the power of funding to unlock long-term change.

You may be motivated by seeing ideas become reality, by helping others succeed, or by building partnerships that genuinely matter. You bring care and intention to your relationships, and you want funders to feel proud of the impact their support enables.

You’ll bring experience securing six figure gifts within the charity or not-for-profit sector, alongside strong proposal writing and relationship-building skills. Just as importantly, you are thoughtful, collaborative and committed to doing fundraising in a way that is ethical, inclusive and values-led.
