Rob Sisson Email and Phone Number
When your children or grandchildren ask 'What did you do about the planet?' how will you answer?If you want say 'I did all I could', then you and I are on the same journey.A journey of generosity.Giving all we can now, because doing it later will be too late for our children. Plus, it'd be blooming nice if they got to see a tree or two.Connect and let's talk about how we can do more, together.Or email me at rob.sisson@panicle.co.ukMaybe we arrived here from different starting points or go about it in different ways, but the trajectory aligns.For me, through entrepreneurship I lived my dream life, only to find that hedonistic daydreams weren't all they cracked up to be.I was done; bored of chasing after experience, tired of constantly desiring for the next; the bigger; the better - this one, that - these, and those.So I spent 6 months meditating in Buddhist monasteries and a silent retreat.Generosity became the focus.Now this life is dedicated to doing good; be it through philanthropy and charity, or investing and work.My present priority is making nature a more investable asset so it makes economic sense to rewild, restore, and regenerate - not just ecological sense.My team and I are building The NBS Financing Guide, in which we are mapping how different financial instruments can be used throughout the whole life cycle or a nature-based solution. Now we may have more issues now than ever before. The way I see it though is that we can make the choice to adopt a pessimistic view of it - or we can see now as the greatest opportunity for generosity in our history.More is on the line than ever, and isn't that what makes a great adventure?

Community Representative Grant Programme TrusteeNpc (New Philanthropy Capital) Oct 2022 - Apr 2023I designed and delivered a £500,000 grant programme which was focused on open philanthropy, which combines emerging best practices such as trust-based grant making, community led decision making, knowledge sharing, and inclusivity - all good things if you ask me. I formed eligibility criteria and examined provided documentation, outlined the specific areas to allocate funds, pinpointed organisations or individuals suitable for funding, and determined the ultimate recipients along with the corresponding award amounts.The result of the project, besides delivering the grants, was a toolkit to help other funders to begin to shift the power to those they give grants to, which can be found in the below link. -
