Trusts & Foundations Manager

Application Deadline: 5 July 2026

Department: Fundraising

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: London Office

Compensation: £35,931 / year



Description

Children and young people in London matter; their voices, experiences, and futures. They deserve every chance to make the most of their lives. But too many young people can’t because they don’t have the opportunities to help them thrive. That is where transformational youth work comes in offering somewhere to go, something to do, someone to trust.

The Trusts and Foundations Manager plays a pivotal role in the success of the Fundraising and Communications Directorate, and London Youth as a whole. In line with our fundraising strategy, you will be responsible for securing new five and six-figure trusts and foundations funds, achieving ambitious personal targets and contributing to our overall fundraising target of £6.9m in 2026. Your focus will be on high-value long-term strategic relationships with businesses generating both restricted and unrestricted funds as well as other non-financial benefits.



What you will be doing

  • Develop and maintain an exemplary understanding of the needs of young people and youth organisations in London.
  • Proactively communicate the vision and mission, aims and work of London Youth to funders.
  • Undertake prospect research to identify new funding opportunities that increase restricted and unrestricted income.
  • Collaborate with teams from across London Youth to develop and submit high quality five and six figure applications to trusts, foundations, institutional funders, and livery companies.
  • Work with colleagues to find ways to increase income from existing funders.
  • Meet all KPIs and financial targets.
  • Provide first class stewardship to funders.
  • Maintain up-to-date records on all aspects of fundraising activity on Salesforce and SharePoint and produce regular reports when needed.
  • Ensure agreements are in place with all funders and are recorded in line with our processes.
  • Take responsibility for your ongoing professional development.
  • Commit to and actively promote London Youth’s policy and procedures to value and respect diversity and inclusion in all duties and working relationships.
  • Reflect our inclusive culture in your day-to-day work and support a positive health & safety and safeguarding culture in your interactions with colleagues.
  • Follow our organisation’s anti-racism principles and practices as you actively promote and respect diversity and inclusion in all aspects of your work and working relationships.



What you bring to the role

Knowledge and Experience:
  • Track record of leading and securing five and six figure funding relationships with trusts, foundations, institutional funders, and livery companies.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of UK and London funders.
  • Ability to undertake rigorous prospect research and build and manage a robust pipeline.
  • Demonstrable relationship management skills.
  • Proven project management skills.
  • Experience of regularly recording and reporting on data.
  • Ability to interpret financial data.
  • Awareness of Fundraising Regulatory Framework.
  • Experience of acting as an organisational ambassador in a range of outward facing contexts.

Attributes and Behaviours:

  • Outstanding written and oral communication skills.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Ability to prioritise workload.
  • Ability to work independently or with small or large groups of colleagues.
  • Ability to work in a changing and flexible environment.
  • Willingness to learn new skills.
  • Discretion and ability to maintain confidentiality.
  • Willingness to work occasional evenings or weekends at London Youth events.
You will be able to demonstrate our values of being:
  • Ambitious
  • Collaborative
  • Inclusive
  • Accountable



Why work at London Youth

  • Generous holiday allowance - 39 days paid holiday each year (including bank holidays and closure days). If you work part-time, your holiday allowance will be proportional based on your working days.
  • Employer 4% pension contribution.
  • Additional leave granted to support voluntary activity.
