Fundraising Support for Plastic Smart Cities (PSC) and NPIN

Summary

WWF’s No Plastic in Nature (NPIN) initiative aims to stop plastic leakage into nature by 2030 through elimination of unnecessary plastics, scaling reuse and recycling, and ensuring responsible sourcing. The Plastic Smart Cities (PSC) program—active in more than 60 cities across 20+ countries—supports cities to reduce plastic pollution through policy, infrastructure, and behavioral solutions. To expand this work and strengthen long-term sustainability, WWF seeks a fundraising consultant to develop a targeted resource mobilization strategy for PSC and NPIN. The consultant will focus on identifying funding opportunities, establishing relationships with potential donors, and supporting WWF’s plastics team in strategic engagement and proposal development.
