Our Progress
Maximising our impact through core funding
+£1 MILLION DONATED
- Over £1,000,000 raised for our portfolio of high impact climate & nature charities.
- A nearly 10x increase in funding from FY20 to FY24.
- A more than 2x increase in portfolio donations from FY23 to FY24.
- In FY24, for every £1 of core funding to GRP, we raised £2.34 for high-impact climate charities – a significant improvement from £1.13 the previous year.
- This ratio is poised to grow exponentially, making core funding to GRP an exceptionally effective investment in scaling high-impact climate and nature solutions for the future.
40+ Partnerships
- 40+ Partnerships with financial institutions and corporates aimed at making high-impact climate philanthropy easy and routine.
- We are currently partnered with 24 adviser firms that are offering our portfolio to clients as a philanthropic option.
- With additional core funding, we plan to 8x our partnerships with financial advisers by 2028.

Tom Ansell
Head of Product, Zellar
Underpinning our approach is our principle that we would rather be part of a fundamental solution to the climate crisis than just offset our ongoing activity. In keeping with the way we run our business […] we are interested in constructing an authentic, tailored and innovative solution to the problem rather than just following the herd or ticking a box.
