Your monthly donation funds rainforest restoration, plants trees in the right places, creates marine protected areas, and fights climate change through the power of the law – all through hand-picked, best-in-class charities.
100% of your donation goes directly to our portfolio of charities, with no hidden fees.
Climate change and nature loss are incredibly complicated. Countless organisations work to address these emergencies – but not all deliver high-leverage, evidence-backed impact.
The Global Returns Project (GRP) cuts through this complexity with rigorous, science-based evaluation and ongoing performance monitoring, so your giving goes directly to the solutions that matter most.
Our methodology underpins everything we do. It systematically identifies, assesses, and tracks some of the world’s most effective nature and climate charities, so your support drives real, measurable progress towards planetary recovery.
There’s no shortage of concern for our planet.
But there is a shortage of action.
Despite rising urgency, climate mitigation receives under 2% of global philanthropic funding.
That gap is opportunity.
A chance to redirect funding where it matters most.
A chance to accelerate solutions that already work.
Your monthly donation funds rainforest restoration, clean energy access and nature recovery — all through hand-picked, world-class charities.
Advised by experts and scientists, we have screened over 20,000 climate and nature charities globally.
Using our proprietary assessment framework – built around impact, scalability, networks and co-benefits – we have identified six outstanding organisations tackling the biggest environmental challenges across land, sea and atmosphere.
These charities include those protecting rainforests and oceans, enforcing environmental law, restoring ecosystems and holding polluters to account.
Every six months, we reassess their progress and publish updated impact data.
Our Technical Advisory Board includes world-class climate scientists such as Prof Joanna Haigh CBE and Prof Yadvinder Malhi CBE.
Our portfolio brings together complementary solutions across five categories of climate action — drawn from our Total Opportunity Set of the most effective interventions:
– Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
– Supporting carbon sinks
– Protecting and enhancing life on land
– Protecting and enhancing life below water
– Advancing climate information and communication
This ensures your giving is diversified, balanced, and strategically targeted — spanning the full range of solutions needed to restore the planet.
Every six months, we assess the strength of our portfolio using two proprietary metrics:
– Global Returns Rate (GRR): a comprehensive measure of performance, combining impact, scalability, networks and co-benefits – and reflecting how effectively our portfolio works as a whole.
– Portfolio Diversity: the share of the Total Opportunity Set covered by our charities (currently at 55.7% of all known effective interventions), which is included in the GRR
We take no fees and make no deductions. Donors through our website may choose to cover transaction costs associated with their gift, but this is not necessary.
Our separate operating funding – supported by our core partners and donors – covers the running costs of our work, allowing your entire gift to go where it matters most.
Transparency is at the heart of everything we do.
We publish detailed Impact Reports every six months, showing what your donations have achieved across the portfolio, whether it’s protecting rainforests, oceans or biodiversity worldwide.
Every donor receives updates that make the impact of their giving visible and meaningful.
The more people who give through GRP, the faster we can accelerate change.
Our goal is to be raising £30 million annually for high-impact charities by 2030, supporting work across every continent and ecosystem.
Each donation, large or small, contributes to a growing movement for planetary recovery.
