About Hatch

Hatch Enterprise is an award-winning charity that exists to level the playing field in entrepreneurship. Our beneficiaries build businesses that tackle some of society's most vital challenges through social enterprise, addressing a wide range of socioeconomic problems, from homelessness to community cohesion, healthcare and climate change.

We recognise that talent is distributed equally, but opportunities are not. Too many people with ideas and ambition never get the chance to turn them into thriving businesses that create lasting social change. That’s why we’re on a mission to nurture innovation across the UK’s diverse society, to build a fairer, more sustainable economy that works for everyone.
We are a team of 20 passionate changemakers, working alongside underrepresented founders across the UK to help them imagine, launch and grow sustainable businesses, community interest companies and charities. Our work is rooted in belief in human potential, practical support and deep connection to the communities we serve.

In early 2026, Hatch will launch its first three-year fundraising campaign - a defining moment that will allow us to back more innovators, push boundaries and create lasting social, environmental and economic change both for those we support, and the people they serve through their ventures.This role sits right at the heart of that ambition

The role

This maternity cover role offers a meaningful opportunity to help secure the funding that makes our work possible at a pivotal point in Hatch’s journey.

Reporting to the Director of Fundraising & Engagement, you will lead the delivery of Trusts & Foundations, Statutory and Major Donor fundraising, while managing our inspiring partners, you will build new income pipelines aligned to Hatch’s pioneering programmes. You will also support the launch and early delivery of our three-year fundraising campaign.

Alongside hands-on fundraising, you will line manage, mentor and develop the Fundraising Manager, helping to build confidence, capability and strong, future-focused fundraising practice.

What you’ll be doing

• Securing transformational funding from Trusts & Foundations, Statutory and Major donors, enabling more underrepresented founders to turn ideas into sustainable businesses.

• Building and stewarding a strong pipeline of opportunity, ensuring Hatch can grow its reach and respond to demand with confidence.

• Crafting and delivering compelling proposals and presentations that bring Hatch’s mission, impact and ambition to life and inspire partners to invest in change.

• Caring for and deepening funder relationships through thoughtful, high-quality account management, reporting and ongoing engagement.

• Helping launch and build momentum for Hatch’s first three-year fundraising campaign, a pivotal moment in scaling our impact.

• Strengthening people, processes and systems, so fundraising at Hatch is effective, ethical and continually learning.

About you

You are someone who believes deeply in fair access to opportunity and understands the power of funding to unlock long-term change.

You may be motivated by seeing ideas become reality, by helping others succeed, or by building partnerships that genuinely matter. You bring care and intention to your relationships, and you want funders to feel proud of the impact their support enables.

You’ll bring experience securing six figure gifts within the charity or not-for-profit sector, alongside strong proposal writing and relationship-building skills. Just as importantly, you are thoughtful, collaborative and committed to doing fundraising in a way that is ethical, inclusive and values-led.

You enjoy mentoring others, sharing knowledge and building confidence. You’re organised and proactive, but also reflective, keen to learn, improve and adapt in a fast-moving environment.

If you’re excited by the chance to contribute your skills to work that creates real opportunity for people too often excluded, this role could be for you.

We warmly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the barriers our founders face.

About Us
Action Village India (AVI) is a small UK based organisation that since 1989, has been supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods and resilience. We work towards an India which is just, fair and inclusive, where all people regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, caste, religion can benefit from the country’s economic development and lift themselves out of poverty.
