<h3><strong>Who we are</strong></h3><p><em>Hope is here. </em>The Global Returns Project (GRP) is a UK charity unlocking new philanthropy to deliver urgent solutions for our planet.&nbsp;</p><p>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 nearly £2 million for top environmental solutions and are working to unlock at least £30 million annually by the end of the decade</p><p>We are growing quickly: We expect annual fundraising to increase by 70% this year compared with last year. Last year’s total was 50% higher than the year before.</p><p><em>The problem: </em>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.</p><p><em>Our solution: </em>In the UK alone, around £2 trillion sits with “HNW+” individuals – those holding between £100k and £30 million. Yet traditional philanthropy largely overlooks them. We’re unlocking this funding by offering trusted, pro bono advice and a simple, portfolio approach to giving. Our expertise in UK wealth advice offers a unique path to scalability and systems-change.</p><h3><strong>Our culture and values</strong></h3><p>We’re a small, thoughtful team grounded in mutual respect. We care deeply about the planet and the people we work with – and we make room for honest conversations, shared learning and personal growth.</p><p>We have a good sense of humour, too! It&nbsp;helps keep us grounded when tackling tough issues like climate change and nature loss. If you’re looking for a workplace that’s human, ambitious and genuinely supportive, we’d love to hear from you.</p><h3><strong>Equality, diversity and inclusion policy</strong></h3><p>We’re committed to building a team where different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives are genuinely valued. We’re an equal opportunities employer and oppose all forms of discrimination in recruitment and the workplace. Our approach is grounded in fairness, transparency and open communication at every stage – from hiring through to progression and day-to-day team life.</p><p>While selection is always based on merit, we also recognise the importance of elevating underrepresented voices in climate action. We particularly encourage applications from people with disabilities and from ethnically or culturally diverse backgrounds across the UK.</p><h2><strong>Benefits</strong></h2><p>We offer the following benefits for paid jobs:</p><ul><li><p>Remote/hybrid work</p></li><li><p>Free tea/coffee in our office</p></li><li><p>Flexible working hours</p></li></ul><p></p>
