About The Azaylia Foundation
The Azaylia Foundation was founded by Ashley Cain and Safiyya Vorajee after the passing of their eight-month old daughter, Azaylia. Childhood cancer is the number one killer of children in the UK, yet it receives less than 3% of cancer research funding. Backed by a large community of supporters, The Azaylia Foundation is committed to reversing this systemic underfunding through advocacy, PhD research grants, and family support for treatments not freely available via the NHS. Our flagship programme, The Azaylia PhD Scholarship Program, aims to fund 20 new childhood cancer PhDs and their research over a period of 5 years.

With the end of bear bile farming in Vietnam now within reach, Animals Asia is entering an exciting new phase – expanding sanctuary capacity, entering new markets, and securing long-term care for every rescued bear.
Animals Asia has spent over 25 years working to end cruelty and restore respect for animals across Asia. With teams in Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, the UK, and beyond, they combine advocacy, direct rescue, and sanctuary care to create systemic change. Their mission to end bear bile farming – arguably the world’s cruelest form of animal abuse – is almost complete. In November 2023, they opened their third bear sanctuary which will enable them to bring home every last bear and achieve their founding goal in Vietnam by the end of 2026.
Their global fundraising and communications team is driven, well-structured, and rooted in the charity’s deeply held values. Income has been steadily rising since 2017 and they have the people, plans and investment to maintain this growth.
The Trusts and Foundations function has grown substantially since being unified globally in 2020. Income has more than doubled, donor relationships are well-managed, and new business is actively developed. With a 2024 target of $1.3m and strong pipeline visibility, this role focuses on securing and stewarding 5- and 6-figure multi-year partnerships, with particular scope for growth in the US and unrestricted giving.
This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled fundraiser to join a highly collaborative team and benefit from a structured, mature function where ambitious fundraising is supported and celebrated.
As Trusts and Foundations Manager, you will:
- Manage and grow a global portfolio of 5- and 6-figure funders, including multi-year partnerships
- Develop compelling, tailored funding proposals and impact reports, often for donors with limited direct project access
- Deliver high-quality stewardship, with regular updates and relationship-building through video, email, and occasional travel
- Collaborate with colleagues across the organisation to develop powerful cases for support
- Lead on identifying and cultivating new prospective donors through research, network mapping, and strategy input
- Use CRM systems to manage pipelines and track communications effectively
- Support the Global Director of Partnerships and work closely with a peer Trusts and Foundations Manager
- Contribute to delivering the team’s $1.3m target and future growth ambitions
Ideal skills and experience:
- Proven success securing 5-figure+ grants from global trusts and foundations
- Strong written skills, with experience tailoring proposals to global funders and funder motivations
- A confident relationship-builder, who is able to do so remotely and across time zones and cultures
- Highly self-organised, independent, and comfortable managing deadlines and priorities
- Strong understanding of CRM systems and income tracking
- Familiar with the complexities of fundraising for work in Asia or global programme delivery
- Alignment with the mission and values of Animals Asia; sector experience in animal welfare, conservation, or international development is welcome.
Animals Asia are partnering with QuarterFive for this appointment.
