Our donors
We very much appreciate all the financial support that we receive from our donors.
As of November 2022, we had received around £16.3 million in donations from individual philanthropists, grantmakers, and foundations. Our largest donor is Open Philanthropy, whose mission is to help others as much as possible with the resources available to them. Their main funders are Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz, a co-founder of Facebook and Asana.
We haven’t accepted any donations from corporations in exchange for promotion (though we did receive a $50,000 donation from the partnership Y Combinator to fund our participation in their nonprofit startup acceleration programme).
To see our income and expenses to date in more detail, please see the financial report in our latest accounts.
