fundraising roles at the earthshot prize
About us
The Earthshot Prize, which launched globally in October 2020, is the most ambitious and prestigious of its kind, designed to incentivise change and help to repair our planet over the next 10 years.
Taking inspiration from the Moonshot, the Prize is based on 5 ‘Earthshots’, simple but ambitious and universal goals for 2030, focusing on nature, air pollution, oceans, waste and climate. If achieved, they will make life better for all.
Crucial to the mission of the Earthshot Prize are its global network of funders, businesses, NGOs and individuals. They share the Earthshot Prize’s purpose to unleash urgent optimism and action that accelerate eco innovations, celebrate the people and places driving change, and inspire people all over the world to work together to repair the planet.

The three types of partner organisations:
Global Alliance Partners

Global Alliance Members
Global Alliance Members are some of the world’s largest and most influential companies and brands.

Fundraising ambitions
There are currently 14 founding partners, each giving £1m per year for three years. The ambition for 2023 is to have 18 partners, and there is a well-researched, qualified list of prospects in the pipeline.
To support this growth, further develop the high-value funding strategy and provide the highest level of service to current partners, the Earthshot Prize are recruiting for two new positions: a Head of Partnerships and a Partnerships Operations Manager.
There is significant potential to grow the donor base, maximise existing relationships and further refining case for support for new high-value audiences.
There has never been a better time to join this ambitious, growing team and play key roles in building relationships and raising funds that will support the regeneration of the place we all call home in the next 10 years.
