Who we are: Hope is here. The Global Returns Project (GRP) is a UK charity unlocking new philanthropy to deliver urgent solutions for our planet. We are a fast-moving nonprofit that makes donations to high-impact nature and climate charities simple and we don t take any fees. We ve already mobilised over £3 million for top environmental solutions and are working to unlock at least £30 million annually by the end of the decade. We are growing quickly: Last year's annual fundraising was 275% higher than the previous year. The problem: Charities protecting our planet can turn the tide on climate change and nature loss. They have the skills, strategies and networks to deliver fast and global impact. But less than 2% of philanthropy goes to climate mitigation.

You ll be comfortable making direct asks for funding, ideally with experience of securing significant gifts or multi-year commitments. You ll be hands-on in day-to-day fundraising activity and able to manage multiple relationships and priorities effectively.
