Strategic fundraising manager jobs
Hubbub are an award-winning environmental charity that have spent over a decade making environmental action make sense, for people, communities, and businesses.
Through its campaigns and projects, delivered with partners from every sector, Hubbub makes it easier for people to make positive environmental choices. It also provides evidence and insight to businesses and government on what works, helping to shape more effective policy and business action.
Hubbub’s projects are community-focused and deliver social benefits alongside environmental impact. By listening to and including people from all walks of life, Hubbub develops solutions that work for both people and planet. This includes reducing food waste while creating social spaces through the Community Fridge Network, regifting smartphones to extend the life of tech and reduce digital isolation, and helping communities reclaim unloved spaces for growing, play, and access to nature.
Following significant growth in Trusts & Foundations income over the past 18 months, Hubbub is well placed to build on this momentum and strengthen its fundraising.
Trusts & Foundations fundraising is a core part of the role. Reporting to the Head of Trusts and Foundations, the postholder will be responsible for prospect research, relationship development and bid writing, securing restricted, project-based funding aligned to funder priorities. This includes contributing to cases for support and working with programme colleagues to shape fundable project ideas.
Alongside this, the role supports business partnerships work.

Trusts & Foundations expertise is the priority, and Hubbub can support the postholder to develop experience in business partnerships over time.
As Development Manager, you will:
- Contribute to delivery against Hubbub’s annual team fundraising target, securing mainly restricted Trusts & Foundations income for specific projects, roles and the scaling of proven work.
- Grow the Trusts & Foundations pipeline, focusing primarily on new business and building relationships with both solicited and unsolicited prospects.
- Lead on prospect research to identify Trusts & Foundations that align with Hubbub’s priorities, programmes and way of working.
- Develop and write clear, well-targeted cases for support, working closely with Project Leads and Directors to shape fundable propositions.
- Write high-quality Trusts & Foundations bids and supporting materials, taking opportunities through to submission and reporting.
- Attend funder meetings and events as required, primarily in and around London.
- Support colleagues working on business partnerships, including contributing to proposal decks and written materials for service- and project-based partnerships that typically run for three to twenty-four months.
- Stay informed about environmental and philanthropic trends, using this insight to connect funder interests with Hubbub’s work and strategic objectives.
Person specification
Essential
- A strong track record in Trusts & Foundations fundraising, with experience personally securing high five-figure and low six-figure grants (including new business, renewals and uplifts). Examples should be clearly evidenced on your CV.

- Confidence building new funder relationships from scratch, alongside stewarding existing ones, both in person and remotely.

Employee benefits
Employee benefits include:
- 25 days annual leave per year excluding bank holidays PLUS 2 weeks of office closure during Christmas

ABOUT REEF-WORLD
The Reef-World Foundation is a registered UK charity that delivers practical solutions for marine conservation globally. They are a small but highly effective team of passionate individuals dedicated to achieving lasting conservation impacts where they are most needed. Starting in Thailand in 1999, we now operate globally, supporting governments, businesses, and communities to sustainably develop their coastal resources.
Today our team is committed to our mission to inspire and empower people to act in conserving and sustainably developing coastal resources, particularly coral reefs and related ecosystems. We are driven by our vision of a future where coral reefs are healthy and thriving.
In partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Reef-World works to stop the environmental impact of the global marine tourism industry through the internationally recognised Green Fins initiative. The work focuses on buying more time for coral reefs to thrive by mobilising collective and urgent action through the marine tourism industry.
Our work involves supporting, inspiring and empowering governments, businesses, communities and individuals around the world to act in conserving and sustainably developing coral reefs and other coastal resources.
Main Purpose of the Role
The Fundraising and Communications Manager will play a pivotal role in driving Reef-World’s mission to protect and sustainably manage coral reefs and coastal ecosystems worldwide. This hands-on, senior position combines leadership of the charity’s fundraising and communications function with strategic oversight, ensuring that Reef-World maximises its global reach, secures sustainable income, and delivers compelling, mission-aligned messaging across all channels. This position reports directly to the Directors.
You will lead the development and delivery of income generation strategies while overseeing multi-channel communications, digital engagement, media relations, and brand stewardship. You will manage a small, dynamic team of staff, consultants, and volunteers, coordinating resources to support programme delivery and ensuring high-quality outputs that enhance both conservation impact and fundraising success.
You will join a remote, globally distributed, and diverse team, collaborating across multiple countries and cultures to advance Reef-World’s mission. You will be given autonomy to lead the fundraising activities of the organisation and will be encouraged to try new things and take ownership of the fundraising portfolio as a whole. This is an exciting opportunity for a driven, proactive, versatile professional to shape the charity’s growth, profile, and influence in marine conservation on an international scale.
Our Fundraising Landscape
We have had steady year-on-year growth in income since we were founded, with a shortfall recorded last year. The shortfall in income for the last financial year is down to our main donor, the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) not being able to provide funds due to the global economic and political climate. This grant source is naturally very unpredictable in nature, however, we had previously successfully secured a year-on-year budget from UNEP since 2009. You can see our financial history on our Charity Commission listing. Our financial year runs from June to May. For June 2024 to May 2025, our fundraising target is £425,000. We have secured £240,000 of this, and around a further £60,000 is unconfirmed but likely. However, we have previously successfully secured a year-on-year budget from UNEP since 2009.
So far in the current financial year, 65% of our income is grant income, corporate sector and commercial partnerships make up 17%, individual giving is 7%, and 11% of income comes from programme’s products and services.
This role is replacing a Development Manager who joined in March 2024 and created this as a new role. Through her leadership and guidance we have strong foundations across all fundraising streams to build on. We would like the post holder to maintain our excellent track record for grant funding while further establishing and growing new sources of income, especially unrestricted income. We’re open to exploring most kinds of income generation but are particularly interested in exploring corporate fundraising and major donor opportunities and have good foundations upon which to build here.
Our Board of Trustees have a good understanding of the current fundraising landscape and the importance of investing in fundraising.
