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 nearly triple the previous year's.

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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Our solution:

  • 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.

What we are looking for:

We're looking for an organised, proactive Philanthropy Officer to support our work engaging high-net-worth individuals and the wealth advisers who refer them to our work, maintaining a strong pipeline of partners and donors.

  • You'll support prospecting and, where appropriate, outreach and relationship management across wealth adviser partnerships, helping to grow our referrals and giving channels.
  • Alongside this, you'll help coordinate the logistics and admin behind our Planet Adviser Network, helping build and sustain the pool of wealth advisers collaborating with us.

  • On the HNW side, you'll support contact mapping across GRP's donors, contacts and Board to help identify high-net-worth individuals and families, and support relationship management with them when appropriate.

  • The ideal candidate will be excited to take on admin and logistics for major donor stewardship: including our Planet Leadership Circle, support of big and small HNW events, helping produce major donor impact materials (including reports), and other stewardship touches.

  • You’ll thrive in a small, fast-moving team – taking initiative, being collaborative, and contributing to shared goals.

  • Crucially, you’ll care deeply about climate and nature.
