Staff are expected to work from our office in London at least two days per week, unless other arrangements are agreed in advance.Start date: 6 January 2026 Step behind the scenes of an environmental think tank, learning how charities raise millions while gaining the practical skills needed to support successful fundraising campaigns.<a href="https://green-alliance.org.uk/" target="_blank">Green Alliance</a> is a charity and independent think tank, committed to achieving a greener future. We play a central role in shaping environmental thinking in the UK and are known for our cross-party influence, the clarity of our insights and the quality of our reports, briefings, events and podcasts.&nbsp;A think tank is a research organisation that aims to influence government policy making. Green Alliance is a specific type of think tank; many are focused on supporting a particular party or part of the political spectrum, but we are politically neutral and focused on policy that improves the environment. This means we spend our time drawing up strategies for achieving change internally and with other organisations, doing research for reports and roundtables, and then meeting MPs and civil servants to persuade them to take action. Among other things, our staff regularly talk to ministers, appear in newspaper articles and on TV and radio and give evidence to parliamentary select committees. There has never been a more important time to act on the environmental crisis. We are producing clear evidence that a low carbon, green economy can create new jobs and industries, improve people’s lives and lead to a safer, fairer and more resilient future for all.As a charity, we raise funds for the work we do through a range of fundraising activities: including making grant applications to philanthropic trusts and foundations; and cultivating corporate partnerships with businesses and philanthropic individuals who want to support environmental policy work. These different funding relationships are based on trust and require detailed attention to ensure they are fulfilling and impactful relationships for the funder and the charity.We are looking for a fundraising trainee who is curious and excited to learn about fundraising for a charity.
