This is a unique opportunity to join a passionate, high-performing team at a pivotal moment. With our current strategy, The Turn of Trees (2022–25), coming to a close, and a bold new plan launching later this year, we’re scaling our efforts to drive a movement for tree equity—a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of trees, no matter where they live. We already work with a range of leading businesses and foundations including BUPA Foundation, CBRE, and Bauer Media, and are seeking a leader who can deepen these partnerships while unlocking ambitious new opportunities.
As Head of Corporate Fundraising, you’ll help shape a bold and proactive fundraising approach, and personally drive high-value partnerships of £100,000+. You’ll combine strategic vision with hands-on leadership—crafting compelling propositions, nurturing long-term collaborations, and ensuring excellence in delivery. You’ll play a critical role in shaping our next phase of income growth, aligned closely with the wider organisational strategy and impact goals.
Trees for Cities is a fantastic place to work. We have a warm, inclusive and vibrant culture, where you will work collaboratively to witness the impact of your work to make a tangible difference in urban communities. If you’re an experienced and passionate corporate fundraiser ready to help build greener, healthier, more resilient cities—this is your moment.

At Trees for Cities, we believe access to trees and nature is essential for the health and well-being of communities. We focus our work where it’s needed most — in areas facing environmental, social, and economic disadvantage — putting us at the forefront of climate and community justice across the UK.
Trees for Cities is the only national charity dedicated to improve lives by planting, protecting and promoting urban trees. We do this by working closely with communities, landowners, partners and funders to deliver transformational change in towns and cities across the UK. We plant trees in schools, streets, estates, parks and open spaces to create nature-rich urban woodland, hedgerows, orchards, avenues and playgrounds.
As we approach the final year of our strategic plan, The Turn of Trees (2022–2025), we’ve seen inspiring growth and diversification in funding from major supporters like the National Lottery Community Fund and The People’s Postcode Lottery. Now, as we prepare to launch our 2025–2030 strategy, our goal is clear: build a national movement for tree equity that places communities, cities, and biodiversity at the heart of everything we do.
Your role:
We’re seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Grant Fundraising Manager to lead our grant fundraising efforts — managing and growing a portfolio of major funders, generating around £1.2m annually from central government, lotteries, trusts, and foundations. You will:
-
Develop compelling, tailored grant applications
-
Build strong, lasting relationships with funders
-
Work collaboratively across teams to bring our projects and vision to life
-
Innovate and diversify income streams to ensure a sustainable future
Why Trees for Cities?
This is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to urban climate action through the power of trees. You’ll join a warm, vibrant, and inclusive organisation where your work has visible, tangible impact in communities across the UK. From community planting events to daily table tennis, you’ll quickly become part of a motivated and collaborative team driven by a shared mission.
Who we’re looking for:
An outstanding grant fundraiser with a proven track record of securing large, multi-year grants and navigating the competitive funding landscape. You thrive in collaborative environments and are skilled at communicating and influencing across teams to achieve shared goals. Most importantly, you are deeply committed to driving positive social and environmental change.
