Endowment Funds

Home-Our Work-Funding Conservation-Endowment Funds

A different way to fund

Synchronicity Earth benefits from the commitment of the Synchronicity Foundation to provide us with unrestricted and patient funding. We know how this transforms our work, allowing us to work strategically and to invest in research, operations and systems.

From our activities with partner organisations, we understand that securing funding for long-term strategies is vital, can be transformational, but is rarely available.

Our solution is to create ‘Funds’ to provide long-term annuity income.

These are expendable endowment funds, which we look to grow through careful, diversified investment, and which will pay out annual income streams (including capital and income) to fund conservation work.

This initiative gives donors the opportunity to provide long-term support, either through a single donation or a series of donations, and plug the gaps left by more traditional fundraising approaches. It aims to:

  • Grow donations over time
  • Put donations to work over the long term, providing a stable source of annuity funding to key organisations and groups over a timescale that is needed for conservation action
  • Bring donors together to provide coordinated and strategic funding

Synchronicity Earth is building a range of funds to target key programmes of work. Currently the following funds are available to donors:

The Synchronicity Earth Living Fund

A fund to provide both additional core funding for our organisation and funding for our development portfolio and programmes.

How the Funds work

Many environmental conservation problems need urgent and increased funding to significantly reduce the rate of species population and habitat loss in the coming 10 to 20 years. Without this increased funding over these timescales, we risk losing a wide range of habitats and species.

An expendable endowment is effectively a hybrid model between regular fundraising and a standard endowment (where only the income, not the capital can be spent). Our Funds aim to match the life of the fund with the timescale of the action needed.

Traditional endowments lock up capital in perpetuity.

Our view is that we need to solve key conservation problems in a shorter timeframe putting both capital and income to work.
