Head of Fundraising and Partnerships

Company Overview
Established in 2012, The Food Bank Singapore is the nation’s only accredited member of The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), an organisation which supports food banks in more than 50 countries. As an IPC-registered charity (non-government funded), we collect surplus food from manufacturers, distributors, retailers, restaurants, and the public, and channel them to vulnerable communities through our network of beneficiary partners. We also procure food as needed to meet the food support requirements of our beneficiary partners. Beyond providing vital food support to improve food security, we champion food sustainability through advocacy, reducing food waste, and driving education programmes that inspire action to reduce food waste and build a more sustainable future. In 2025, we distributed about 700,000kg of food to communities across Singapore. Earlier this year, we launched the Back-to-School Programme to provide 50,000 food and stationery support kits to school-going children from lower-income households in 2026. 

Job Summary
The Food Bank Singapore seeks an experienced fundraising professional to help grow and diversify our philanthropic income, donor base and strategic partnerships. Reporting directly to the Executive Director, this is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can build meaningful relationships with corporate partners, individual donors, foundations, family offices, grant-makers and other supporters.

The successful candidate should have:

• Strong experience and proven track record (5 to 10 years) in fundraising, philanthropy, donor development and management of strategic partnerships.
• Practical experience fundraising for a Singapore Institution of a Public Character (IPC)
• A sound understanding of charity governance, donor accountability and fundraising compliance
• A proven ability to identify, cultivate and steward donors, while developing a healthy fundraising pipeline
• Strong grant-writing, proposal-development, presentation and impact-reporting skills
• The ability to develop campaigns, donor events and partnerships that create lasting engagement with our mission
• A Degree from an accredited tertiary institution, or comparable qualifications.

This role requires someone who is commercially aware and results-oriented, while bringing integrity, discretion and a genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable members of our community. Please note that this is a single contributor role and support comes by working closely with cross functional teams within the charity.

At The Food Bank Singapore, fundraising is not simply about securing financial support. It is about building trusted partnerships that help us reduce food insecurity, prevent good food from going to waste and strengthen our impact across Singapore.
