Hi, we’re 10:10 – a 120,000-strong community doing bold, beautiful things to tackle climate change, supported by a small team in Camden town.

You’re a brilliant Trusts and Foundations fundraiser who wants to use your powers to make the world a better place. We should talk! 

We’re looking for that special someone to help us marry the right funders with our three year strategy. It’s an exciting time, with great projects on the go at 10:10, and you’ll be responsible for working with Trusts and Foundations so we have the funds to make good things happen!

Getting right under the skin of our projects, working with our fundraising plan and finding ways to generate funding will get you out of bed in the morning. You’re a talented multi-tasker who understands people, relationships, processes and coordination. You’ll have a good knowledge of the Trust and Foundations landscape, and will enjoy spotting new opportunities and working with fund managers to showcase our projects and ensure we’re approaching the right funders.

As part of a small, friendly team, you’ll attend key meetings, pitch programmes to funders, and be a visible advocate of our work at all levels. The whole team knows that fundraising makes everything else possible, and we’re all involved, so you’ll have plenty of input and collaboration. 10:10 believes in developing our team, providing training and mentoring where appropriate, plus cake in almost all circumstances.
