Job description

About Forest Peoples Programme

Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) is an international NGO that has been working with Indigenous Peoples and forest peoples for 35 years since it was established in 1990. As of 2026, we work in 18 countries across South and Central America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with over 50 partners based in the tropical forest belt. We work directly and in solidarity with communities and peoples, supporting them to secure their rights to their traditional lands, territories, and resources, protect their forests and ways of life, and choose their own futures.

Working at local, national and global levels FPP supports indigenous peoples and forest peoples to effect change from the bottom up – grounded in struggles to advance the enjoyment of their rights and seek remedy for violations. At the same time, we work to ensure the voices and priorities of indigenous peoples and forest peoples shape national and international law and policy – e.g. relating to business and human rights, climate, and biodiversity – so that resulting regulatory and market reform better serves and respects their rights.

Role summary

Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) is recruiting a Fundraising Manager to enhance fundraising capacity and ensure long-term financial sustainability of the organisation. This new role has been designed to work closely with the Head of Programme Engagement, as well as programme and operational colleagues to increase income from philanthropic, bilateral and multilateral donors.

Location: Regular attendance at the Moreton-in-Marsh office preferred (e.g. once weekly), but remote or other hybrid arrangements may be possible for the right candidate

Hours: Negotiable for the right candidate. Part-time or full-time hours considered (no less than 3 days per week)

Responsibilities

  • Proactively horizon scan for philanthropic, bilateral and multilateral funding opportunities that align with FPP’s mission and Strategic Framework Plan 2025-30.
  • Take the lead in researching and assessing new multilateral funding opportunities and, if suitable, develop and implement strategies of engagement.
  • Lead on researching, tracking and assessing bilateral funding opportunities and engagement.
  • Develop and maintain an understanding of FPP’s country level and thematic work and related partner needs and aspirations.
  • Working with colleagues in programme teams, lead the drafting of compelling, high-quality concept notes and multi-year funding proposals, including log-frames and budgets, aligned with funder priorities and organisational strategy goals.
  • Lead on the project management of complex funding submissions – coordinating inputs from across programme, finance and administrative teams and ensuring comprehensive and timely submissions.
  • Take an active role within the PCMT Fundraising subgroup in strategising, planning and delivering effective methods of engaging and strengthening relationships with prospective and current donors.
  • Collaborate with Communications team colleagues to produce fundraising materials, and with the Monitoring Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) team to support the ongoing organisational MEAL process and the development of associated communications demonstrating impact and scale.

Person specification

Essential qualities

  • Dedicated fundraising professional with a proven track record of successfully securing significant funding from government, multilateral donors and/or trusts and foundations.

  • Alignment with the vision, mission and core principles of FPP’s work.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to build authentic, influential relationships both externally with funders, and internally with colleagues.
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills with the ability to work under pressure and to multiple deadlines.

Desirable qualities

  • Existing contacts within relevant government agencies, multilateral donors and/or philanthropic organisations.
  • French, Spanish or Bahasa language skills.
  • Experience of fundraising for work in the same, or related, field to that of FPP.
  • Experience of working with Indigenous Peoples and global south organisations and/or networks.
  • Ability to come to the office in Moreton-in-Marsh both regularly and on an ad hoc basis as required.
  • Ability to travel internationally (approximately 2 weeks per year, and unlikely to exceed a total of 5 days per trip).
