Fundraising Manager

Clean Air Fund are recruiting for an experienced Fundraising Manager with a track record of securing high-value grants from global foundations. We are a growing and ambitious organisation at the heart of efforts to reduce air pollution across the globe. 

Launched at the UN Secretary General’s Climate Summit in 2019 and with more than $50m in unrestricted funds raised to date, the Clean Air Fund is a global philanthropic initiative that works to achieve clean air for all. 

The Fundraising Manager will work with CAF’s senior leadership to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Clean Air Fund by securing the funds needed for our mission to achieve clean air for all. Our strategy is to identify new donors who can help us scale our existing programmes or extend our work to new geographies, while engaging with existing donors to secure their further support. 

You will be responsible for identifying new prospects, building a pipeline and winning 7-to 8- figure grants from global foundations to help us meet our ambitious funding targets. You will be integral to securing continuing support from our current donors and to setting up processes from scratch in a new and rapidly growing organisation.

You will be an excellent communicator with a demonstrable track record in securing high-value grants from global foundations and trusts in a target-driven environment.

You will be self-motivated and entrepreneurial, confident in making approaches to and communicating with senior funders and philanthropists and have an excellent knowledge of fundraising regulations and best practice. 

You are highly organised and credible with previous experience of successfully managing projects.
