We are looking for someone who understands the critical role this type of fundraising plays and who wants to excel at it in support of our clients. The successful candidate will not only work directly with a range of amazing clients, but also play a key role in developing trust fundraising excellence and expertise across the company, liaising with colleagues and planning collaborative sessions with them and external partners.

Our specialism is in raising multi-year unrestricted funding from charitable trusts and foundations. We are determined to succeed and we are tenacious for our charity clients. Since 2010, we have raised £33 million for them.
Our team is made up of five established trust fundraisers, most of whom have over 20 years’ experience in fundraising for a broad range of charities across the sector, including health, social welfare, human rights, refugees, penal reform, arts and the environment.
The work is varied and hugely satisfying and the culture friendly, professional, supportive and respectful.
As Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser you will:
- Develop and deliver a strategy to maximise Trust and Foundation income and ensure that all opportunities for securing grant income for Lesley Hynes Fundraising clients, or similar sources of funding, are explored.
