About us

Synchronicity Earth is an enterprising charity with an ambitious vision: An Earth in which all life is valued, celebrated and flourishing. We act to address overlooked and underfunded conservation challenges for globally threatened species and ecosystems through research-led funding of partners who are working to deliver conservation and biodiversity outcomes. Synchronicity Earth currently funds work that is categorised in a set of programmes including: Amphibians, Asian Species, Congo Basin, Freshwater, Marine, Flourishing Diversity and Regeneration. We also run a series of engagement activities from convening ‘Deeper Thinking’ discussions on new ways of thinking about the conservation and biodiversity challenges; to hosting events showcasing the work of our partners to our wide-ranging audiences.

Our funding model is unique. Our in-house team of conservation experts make up the ‘Research Team’ and they work to build the programmatic portfolios of partners who are undertaking conservation work in those areas that most critically need support. Synchronicity Earth builds long-lasting relationships with these organisations and our ambition is to support them to grow and strengthen their capacity over time, to deliver increased impact.

Once these projects and partners have been identified, we use secure funds from external donors who trust our science-led analysis and wish to fund our strategies. Our due diligence process on potential partners is rigorous and as part of this we identify both core and programmatic needs, representing these needs as part of the ‘fundraising’ process. In addition to managing the grant paperwork, we work with the partners and grantees to prepare, and deliver, progress and impact reports to the donors.

Synchronicity Earth’s income is growing in the number and size of donations received. This means we have been able to increase our grant giving and increase the number of partners we are supporting.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change ‘the system’, to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

The Development Team as a whole is the engine room of Catch22’s mission and business plan.

This is a relatively new unit and with significant recent success we want more brilliant people to join us to help move things forward.

You will have autonomy over sourcing and securing partnerships that contribute to Catch22’s overall development objectives, including fundraising goals. Most of the time you will be expected to operate under your own initiative and curiosity, researching and identifying partners, and winning them over with solid cases for support and your enthusiasm and belief in the work that we do.

Relationships will be at the centre of what you do, and getting alongside, impressing, and persuading people will be key to your and our collective success.
