At Bath Cats and Dogs Home, we believe every pet deserves a healthy life and a happy home. Through rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, and community support, we positively transform the lives of pets and the people who care for them.
We’re now looking for an experienced and passionate Trusts & Foundations Fundraising Manager to help drive vital income that supports our life-changing work.
An exciting time to join us
This is a particularly exciting moment for Bath Cats and Dogs Home. We’ll soon be merging with a neighbouring animal charity. Together, we’ll be stronger and more sustainable, working across a large area that stretches from west Wiltshire to the Bristol Channel, and doubling the size of the population we serve.
This new chapter will significantly expand our reach, increase our impact for local animals, and strengthen the support we can provide to pet owners across our communities. As part of this transformation, fundraising will play a critical role - making this a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to shape meaningful growth and help deliver ambitious plans for animal welfare.
You’ll lead on developing and securing income from charitable trusts and foundations, managing existing relationships while identifying and cultivating new opportunities. Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and Retail and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll create compelling funding proposals, build strong funder relationships, and help bring innovative projects to life.
This role is ideal for someone who is:
- A talented relationship builder and persuasive writer
- Experienced in securing trust and foundation funding
- Organised, proactive and target-driven
- Passionate about making a tangible impact through fundraising
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- A proven track record of securing grants from trusts and foundations
