ABOUT THE HUO FAMILY FOUNDATION AND ITS SCIENCE PROGRAMME
HFF is a grant-giving foundation based in London. Its mission is to support education, communities and the pursuit of knowledge. The Foundation’s current focus is in three main areas: education; the arts; and science.Since its inception in 2009, it has pledged over $100M to impactful projects in the UK, US and China.More information is available on our website.
The Trustees of the Foundation are supported by a small executive team of six.
The rapid rise and use of digital technology have permeated much of society and transformed the way many humans interact. There has been a broad array of research efforts, but the full implications - both positive and negative - on human physiology, psychology, behaviour, well-being and mental health remain unclear. We believe there is an opportunity to help advance the research and the field of knowledge in this area.
To this end, since mid-2024, HFF has established and will continue to grow a multi-year research portfolio in the UK and the US on the Effects of the Usage of Digital Technology on Brain Development, Social Behaviours and Mental Health in Children and Young People. In 2025, we ran our first annual call and recently announced the outcome of these awards on our website.For our second annual funding round in 2026, we recently released an open call for proposals.
As we continue to build our funding portfolio through annual funding calls, we are now looking for a Senior Funding Manager to join the small HFF Science Team in a permanent role.
SUMMARY PURPOSE - WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING AND ACHIEVING
The Senior Funding Manager is a newly created role in the HFF Science Team.
You will work with the Director of Research and the Senior Programme Officer to administer the Foundation’s science portfolio of grants schemes, awarded grants and associated activities. You will manage and deliver the end-to-end grant application, review and award processes. You will act as a key point of contact for external liaison relating to the schemes.
Working with the rest of the team, you will also help to develop and deliver events for Foundation grant holders. The role may require some domestic and international travel, including to meet grant holders for horizon scanning, monitoring and impact assessment purposes.
You may also contribute to the Foundation’s wider portfolio of work, and the delivery of our strategy.
IS THIS JOB FOR ME?
This is an exciting new role within HFF Science Team and would suit an individual looking to apply their demonstrable experience of research funding processes, and their knowledge of the research environment and funding landscape. You will lead and deliver the full funding cycle with its complex priorities with confidence. Strong communication, analytical skills and attention to detail are essential, along with the ability to build trusted relationships and work collaboratively.

Zoe's Place Baby Hospice was founded in Liverpool in 1995 as the first hospice in the UK specifically providing for the needs of babies and younger children. Our team of specialist nurses and healthcare assistants are supported by a wide range of other healthcare professionals to provide respite care, therapies and bereavement care to babies and children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families.
In late 2024 the people of Liverpool, the North West, and even further afield helped us to raise more than £7,000,000 to secure the future of our hospice, and to build a state-of-the-art new facility in West Derby.
As work begins on our new hospice facility, our dedicated team continues to deliver specialised care from our existing site, and our team of fundraising, marketing, finance, compliance and administration professionals work hard to keep the charity operating smoothly.
This is a rare opportunity to join our dynamic and successful team as the head of our Income Generation and Marketing function. This role enhances the previous role of Head of Fundraising to be responsible for the overall income generation for the hospice, and the key role for the Head of Income Generation is to maintain a sustainable level of fundraising by increasing the income from paid placements through our relationships with Health Trusts and Councils in Merseyside and Cheshire in particular.
We are looking for someone with proven senior-level experience in income generation within the charity, health or care sector, and with a track record of growing income through commissioning or fundraising. You will need to be a strategic thinker with the confidence and compassion needed to build productive relationships and to manage our passionate and hard working team.
In exchange you will benefit from a competitive salary and benefits package, the opportunity to make a real difference to an incredible cause, and you will be joining the charity at a pivotal point in its development.
Liverpool Zoe's Place provides respite, palliative and therapeutic care to babies and young children with complex needs, and their families.

This is a truly exciting time to join the Fundraising Team. As Fauna & Flora continues to strengthen its global impact, we are investing in the systems, insight, and intelligence needed to support a more ambitious fundraising programme. Our work with donors is expanding rapidly, and the ability to identify new prospects, markets, and networks is becoming increasingly central to our success.
The Research Officer, External Insight & Private Sector will play a key role in supporting this growth. You will lead on identifying and qualifying new prospects, monitoring developments across philanthropic and private sector landscapes, and ensuring that Fauna & Flora is well-positioned to pursue emerging opportunities. Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, the role ensures that early-stage engagement is informed, targeted, and strategically aligned.
You will bring excellent research skills, sound judgement, and a disciplined approach to data, alongside the ability to translate insight into clear, practical recommendations. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-moving environment, is motivated by improving systems and understanding complex landscapes, and is keen to support an organisation delivering globally important work for people, nature, and climate.
You will be part of a small but expert Research & Insight function, working alongside the Research & Insight Manager and an existing Research & Insight Officer. Together, the function brings complementary regional, thematic, and donor‑type expertise, supporting colleagues across the full spectrum of prospect identification, qualification, and insight, and creating a collaborative environment in which this role can thrive.
In return, we offer the opportunity to work for a ground‑breaking organisation at the forefront of global conservation, with a generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance, and life insurance.
Our offices are based in the David Attenborough Building in central Cambridge, within easy reach of historic buildings and museums, the River Cam, the central market, and a wide range of cafés and restaurants.

About the role
Research has shown that there is significant potential for new and existing wealth holders to use their resources to fund climate action, and demand for trusted advisors to accelerate both the pace and efficacy of philanthropy. The Impatience Earth team has a track record of delivering quality philanthropy advisory for climate action, and with a growing team we have the capacity to take on new clients.
As the Philanthropy Catalyst Lead, you will be instrumental in building a strong pipeline of clients who would benefit from our climate advisory services. You are someone who is comfortable connecting with and engaging wealth holders, such as high-net worth individuals, family foundations and corporate foundations that have the potential to commit substantial resources (£200k+ year) to climate action.
These clients may be based in the UK or Europe (as reflects the majority of our client base so far) although you will also work with colleagues engaged in catalysing philanthropy in other regions of the world.
You will report directly to the Co-CEO, but also work closely with other members of the team and partners such as the Environmental Funders Network (EFN) to grow climate philanthropy. This is not a fundraising role for Impatience Earth: the primary focus will be to further develop and hone our business development strategy; to find, qualify and cultivate prospects; and to support the delivery of advisory services as needed once prospects are converted into clients.
About Impatience Earth
Impatience Earth is a non-profit climate philanthropy consultancy founded in 2020 with a mission to educate, challenge and inspire wealth holders to take bolder funding decisions to address the climate emergency.
Since 2020, our engagement with over 40 philanthropic foundations and businesses has supported them to make over £250m of new funding available for climate action, and we have already helped them make grants to over 200 different organisations. A great deal of these clients have come from word of mouth and from within our team’s existing connections, and we are now looking to expand our reach beyond our own network.
We have ambitious plans to unlock greater funding for intersectional climate justice work, with bespoke advisory for new climate funders continuing to be a core pillar of our 2026-2030 strategic plan.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
Further developing our business development strategy. This would include:
Reviewing and assessing previous and existing business development activities, and prioritising actions
Identifying key target audiences and referral partners
Proposing realistic and stretch targets for our business development activities
Developing concise and effective communications for our target audience, for example, by crafting compelling outreach emails
Researching, qualifying and engaging with prospective clients. This would include:
Using your past experience of engaging wealth holders to suggest new business development or prospect research ideas
Reviewing funder databases for leads and relevant information
Initiating a new (simple!) system of tracking client leads from identification to conversion
Arranging and joining scoping conversations with potential clients
Identifying events and spaces to engage with prospective clients
Initiating and managing key relationships. This would include:
Stewarding prospective clients who are not yet ready to engage with our services
Re-engaging and managing strong relationships with key referral partners and intermediaries, such as EFN, private banks, wealth advisors, family offices and other philanthropy advisors
Representing Impatience Earth externally at meetings and events to meet our business development objectives
Working closely with colleagues to integrate business development across programmes. This would include:
Working with Impatience Earth colleagues who lead our Strategic Communications, Global South and International Partnerships work to guide and support their activities around business development
General support and advice to strengthen all staff members’ business development knowledge and skills
Support client delivery. As and when you convert prospects into clients, we may need you to support client leads with delivery. This might include arranging and facilitating expert meetings and strategy sessions.
What we’re looking for
At least 3 years previous experience of working in major gift fundraising, trust and foundation fundraising, private wealth advisory, or similar that gives you insight and knowledge into the philanthropic landscape, HNWIs, and the networks and ecosystem in which they operate
Someone who enjoys engaging with philanthropists in-person and at events, and comfortable having interesting but sometimes challenging conversations
A proven track record of converting leads into confirmed high value clients (or funders) at the 6- or 7-figure level and managing successful relationships with them
Strong research skills, including ability to use datasets and access information to find and qualify prospects
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
A self starter who is able to think both creatively and strategically about business development; able to work independently but also as part of a dynamic and highly collaborative team
Confidence engaging with different types of stakeholders, especially high net worth individuals, and the emotional intelligence and social skills to build genuine, trusted relationships
A good understanding of the role of philanthropy in the context of social, economic and climate injustices
Committed to tackling the climate crisis with a good grasp of its causes and solutions - though our team will provide training if you have not worked in a climate-focused role before
Commitment to anti-oppression and social justice
You’ll have an advantage if you:
Have developed or contributed to the development of a successful fundraising or business development strategy
Have previously advised philanthropists, family offices, or foundations
How you’ll know you’re doing a good job
Impatience Earth is advising new clients that we had not previously engaged with
You have converted prospects into clients that will contribute to our headline KPIs around funding catalysed and disbursed for impactful climate solutions
You build and manage a high-quality pipeline of prospects
You have stewarded trusted relationships with key partners turning them into a source of referrals and leads
You have collaborated with the client delivery team to ensure a smooth handover from agreeing the terms of the client project to starting the engagement
You contribute to increasing the team’s knowledge around business development, and understanding our Unique Selling Point

About the role
This role sits at the heart of UK Community Foundations’ ambition to build a strong, confident and connected community foundation field across the UK. You will help grow the field by supporting shared learning, strengthening our collective infrastructure and helping people connect with each other in meaningful ways.
You will work across communities of practice, learning activity, digital spaces and shared resources. You will also curate the monthly newsletter and events bulletin, helping members stay connected to learning opportunities, insights and activity across the field. You will help gather insight, notice patterns and bring ideas together so that the community foundation movement can continue to learn, adapt and evolve.
You will also play an important role in supporting a high quality member experience. This includes being a first point of contact for member enquiries, helping ensure members receive clear, timely and welcoming responses, and supporting continuous improvement of our membership offer.
You do not need to have worked in community foundations before. We are interested in people who bring curiosity, transferable skills and a commitment to learning.
The Field Building team leads work on leadership development, international learning, sector standards and shared knowledge. This role connects across all of that work and gives you a broad view of how the field operates and where it is heading.
We know that strong field building depends on different perspectives, lived experiences and ways of working. We encourage applications from people who may not meet every requirement but feel excited by the role and believe they could grow into it.
Your portfolio
You will hold responsibility for three core areas.
Communities of practice
You will coordinate communities of practice so that they are welcoming, purposeful and inclusive spaces. This includes planning sessions, preparing content, facilitation, making introductions and helping conversations flow.
You will listen closely to what participants are learning and feed insights back into the team. You will help track themes across groups and contribute to shaping future learning agendas. You will also support participation and follow up, helping ensure members feel encouraged and able to engage.
Member Hub
You will manage and curate the Member Hub (our online learning and networking community) so that it becomes a trusted, accessible and lively space for the network. This includes sourcing and sharing useful content, keeping resources up to date, highlighting emerging practice and making sure the Hub is easy to navigate.
You will be a first point of contact for member enquiries through the Hub, responding to questions, signposting support, and working with colleagues across UKCF to ensure members receive timely and helpful responses.
You will work closely with colleagues to ensure content is timely, relevant and accessible to a wide range of users, and you will help track engagement so we can understand what members are using and where further support may be helpful.
Resource Library
You will take ownership of the resource library and keep it organised, dynamic and responsive to member needs. You will bring together tools and learning from across the sector, identify gaps and help ensure resources reflect emerging practice.
You will curate and summarise content so it is easy for members to find and use, and you will support benchmarking surveys and ad hoc requests for network wide data where needed.
Your wider responsibilities
Learning and events
You will support the delivery of learning days, webinars and the national conference. This includes planning, communication, logistics, content coordination and technical support to help events run smoothly and feel welcoming and accessible.
You will provide administrative and logistical support for in person and online events, including managing bookings, liaising with venues and suppliers, coordinating travel and catering, preparing materials, and communicating clearly with participants.
You will play a key role in supporting the delivery of UKCF’s biannual conference, leading on administrative and logistical coordination to ensure the event is well organised, well attended and delivered to a high standard.
You will also curate the monthly newsletter and events bulletin, working with colleagues to gather content, highlight opportunities and share learning in a clear and engaging way.
From time to time, you may support or contribute to training sessions for UKCF colleagues or network members.
Insight and field development
You will help gather intelligence about what is happening across the field. You will notice patterns, spot emerging needs and contribute ideas that support UKCF’s thought leadership.
You will help surface examples of innovation and learning from across the network and share them through the Member Hub, newsletters and other channels.
You will also support the team in gathering and responding to member feedback, helping to improve learning, resources and the overall member experience.
Collaboration across UKCF
You will work closely with colleagues across UK Community Foundations to ensure field building activity, learning and communications align with wider organisational priorities.
What you will bring
We are looking for someone who brings a combination of skills, curiosity and a willingness to learn. You might recognise yourself in some, but not necessarily all, of the following.
Curiosity about how community organisations and networks work, and an interest in learning about community foundations
Ability to take responsibility for your work, while collaborating closely with colleagues and asking for support when needed
Willingness to build confidence using digital platforms and online learning spaces
Ability to listen well, build trust and work respectfully with people from different backgrounds and levels of experience
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
