Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
About the role
Nature is under threat, and funding is one of the biggest levers for change.
At WWF-Singapore, we’re building powerful partnerships to protect ecosystems, tackle climate change, and restore biodiversity. This role sits right at the centre of that effort: unlocking major philanthropic support to turn ambition into real-world impact.
As Philanthropy Lead, you’ll be at the forefront of WWF-Singapore’s fundraising, building powerful relationships with trusts, foundations, and high-net-worth individuals. Working closely with senior leadership, including the Chairman, Board, and CEO, you’ll unlock new opportunities and deepen partnerships.
What You’ll Do
This isn’t a back-office fundraising role. You’ll be out front, building relationships, closing major gifts, and shaping how people invest in the future of our planet.
You will:
- Own and grow a portfolio of high-value donors (trusts, foundations, HNWIs)
- Secure five- and six-figure gifts that directly fund environmental education initiatives and conservation impact.
- Craft compelling proposals and stories that inspire action.
- Build strong, long-term relationships with influential supporters.
- Partner closely with senior leadership (Chairman, Board, CEO) on key opportunities.
- Spot and unlock new funding opportunities across networks and markets.
