We do this by working closely with communities, landowners, partners and funders to deliver transformational change in towns and cities across the UK and overseas. We plant trees in schools, streets, estates, parks and open spaces to create nature-rich urban woodland, hedgerows, orchards, avenues and playgrounds.
Benefitting people and the environment lies at the heart of what we do and this role comes at an exciting time for our organisation.

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.
Apply now and join us in growing a future where every street, every school, and every city is alive with trees and the benefit they bring.
