How we cover our costs

Of course, we still have everyday costs – things like staff, an office, and IT. But we cover those separately. None of it comes out of your donation. Instead, our core costs are met by people who like what we do and by trusts and foundations that want to help us unlock more giving for the planet. 

If you’re giving from the UK, you can also choose to direct any Gift Aid towards our running costs. It’s completely optional, but it’s a simple way to help us keep going strong – while your donation itself stays 100% intact. 

Help us do more, faster

We’re a small, ambitious team working hard to give donors an exceptional service – without ever charging fees. 

But our mission is bigger than us. Today, less than 2% of global philanthropy goes to climate solutions. We want to change that – by making high-impact environmental giving normal for individuals and businesses, first here in the UK and then worldwide. 

Keeping our model running takes support behind the scenes. That’s why we ask both individual donors and trusts and foundations to consider helping cover our core costs. You can do that easily by donating through our website or by reaching out to us directly. 

Every contribution helps keep 100% of donations flowing to the charities – and bigger gifts let us grow faster, scale our work, and unlock even more funding for the planet.
