Harris Hill is working with an environmental charity to help source a Trust and Foundations Fundraiser on an interim basis.
Trust and Foundations is a relatively new source of income for this charity. Receiving most of their income from restricted sources, they have dipped their toes in the unrestricted pool and found it to be very warm indeed.
Unfortunately, they don't have the personnel resource, so would like someone to come in and work 1 or 2 days per week on a 6 month contract or a freelancer/ consultant who is willing to bill them directly.
You role will be to write and manage the trust and foundations proposals up to £10k, which are currently warm however, as this is new, you may also be able to bring valued expertise and guidance in finding new sources and direction.
This is a fantastic cause that tackles pollution around the world as well as support greener innovations. A cause everyone can relate to and is a big topic on a world forum.

Prospectus is proud to be partnering with a great organisation, that for over 25 years have been helping charities and non-profits redefine their fundraising & campaigns. With a dedicated team of UK and International experts that bring together the latest thinking, innovation, and best practices in generating support for important causes. At an exciting time of growth, they are now recruiting for temporary Telephone Fundraisers to join their team, on an ongoing basis.
As a Telephone Fundraiser, you will represent a range of charities and non-profits over the phone. You will call across supporter acquisition, welcome calls, cross-sell, membership, legacy fundraising campaigns and more. You will be speaking with existing supporters who have previously donated or shown an interest in supporting the charities work, no ‘cold calling’ and will be making a strong fundraising ask on a charity’s behalf.
To be considered for this role, you will have strong background in a sales-based role, interpersonal skills transferable to telephone conversations, a confident and clear speaking voice, and the ability to follow a structure (call guide). You will also be resilient, able to handle objection, empathic and have the ability to perform to a target based working environment.
This is fully remote role, with a choice of working hours between 17.5 – 35 hours per week, shift patterns include afternoon and evenings, 12:00-4:00pm or 4:00- 8:30pm. Please only apply if you are available to start ASAP or have no more than a 1 weeks’ notice period.
Please note, due to the nature of the role you will also be required to have a private workspace with no noise pollution or household foot traffic, a laptop or PC running on with MAC or Windows 8 or above (they specifically cannot run on Chromebooks or Windows 7) and the ability to run an Ethernet cable (provided) from workstation to internet router as home WIFI.
