Funding & Annual Reports - Positive Money

How is Positive Money funded?

Positive Money is a not-for-profit company and receives the majority of its funding from a number of charitable trusts and foundations, and from a network of committed individual supporters providing both regular and occasional donations.

In the financial year ending 31 March 2018, 18% our funding came from regular and occasional donations from our individual supporters. 79% came from grants from trusts and foundations or other charities (listed below). 1% came from the sale of books and other products and a final 2% came from other operating income including income received for the provision of services.

In terms of expenditure, our main cost is our team of staff and contractors, while our overheads are kept very low. In the same financial year, 74% of our total expenditure expenditure went on staff costs, including for research, influencing and advocacy, campaigning, and coordinating the UK and international campaign. Other costs include communications and online services costs of 6%, events costs of 5%, office administration costs of 11% (including rent for a small 220sq ft office), and other sundry costs making up the remaining 4%.

The organisations below have provided funding for some of our core projects, but we depend on the support of dedicated individual supporters in order to keep campaigning for a banking system that works in the interests of ordinary people. If you can, please help with a small monthly donation.

We are extremely grateful for the generous support of all our funders, without whom our work would simply not be possible.
