The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is independently audited and has a strong track record of careful and efficient use of funds.
The Foundation’s income is broadly split between philanthropic and corporate donations. We have a trading subsidiary for our corporate membership income and associated operating costs. This allows us to work closely with the most influential businesses while maintaining our independence. Independence allows us to set ambitious targets and provides the neutrality required to be trusted as a thought leader in international spaces, such as the G7 and G20. No funding is proactively generated from the general public. The Trustees monitor fundraising activities.
From the philanthropic community, the Charity receives both unrestricted (core) and project funding. We continue to seek opportunities to increase core and project funding from individual donors, trusts, and grant-awarding bodies.
