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.

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.
