THE GLOBAL RETURNS PROJECT LIMITED 

We provide grant-based funding to charitable organizations focussed on combatting climate change. We select them based on a detailed methodology and monitor their effectiveness on an ongoing basis. We work with financial institutions to make it normal and easy for their clients to provide grant funding to these organizations. We educate on issues associated with climate change.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
