Description of the mission

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.

  • Builds trust quickly and communicates with confidence at senior levels
  • Is both strategic and hands-on, you think big, but execute fast
  • Can juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball
  • Loves working with people and creating meaningful, purpose-driven partnerships

Your Edge

  • Experience working with high-net-worth individuals or major donors
  • Strong proposal writing and storytelling skills
  • Understanding of Singapore’s philanthropy or fundraising landscape
  • Experience running events or curated donor experiences
