Senior Private Wealth Fundraiser
Reforestation and climate foundation · Europe-wide · Fully remote
About the foundation
Our client is one of Europe's largest climate action initiatives, present in over 30 countries and working toward a mission of 500 million new trees for Europe. Over six years, the organisation has built a track record of delivering large-scale EU-funded reforestation programmes and raising significant private funding through major donors, foundations, grants, and carbon credits. Corporate partners include EY, Amazon, Microsoft, DHL, Nvidia, PayPal, HP, ING, ABN AMRO, and Huawei, among others. The client is an official contributor to the EU's 3 Billion Trees Pledge and supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The infrastructure, credibility, and materials are in place.
The role
This is a freelance acquisition role, minimum 2 days per week. You will focus entirely on unlocking new relationships with major donors, private foundations, family offices, and legacy givers across Europe, working directly with the CEO and with access to the full team as needed. We are looking for someone who thrives on opening doors and building relationships. The strategy is set and the credibility is built.
