We’re grateful to be independently funded by individuals and foundations and intentionally receive no grants or donations from government* or business.
PIRC was set up with grants from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) and the Social Services Trust almost 50 years ago. One way or another, JRCT has supported every one of our major ventures over the years.
Currently, we also receive funding from: Barrow Cadbury Trust, Network for Social Change, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Polden Puckham Charitable Foundation, Solberga Foundation, Jam Today, and the Marmot Charitable Trust.
We’re also grateful to former funders of projects and core income: 1970 Trust, Allen Lane Foundation, Anthony Thorold, Artists Project Earth, Arts Council Wales, the Consumers Association, Dag Hammarskjold Foundation, Friends Provident Foundation, Ford Foundation, Hamamelis Trust, KR Foundation, Lipman Miliband Trust, Lush Charity Pot, the Network for Social Change, Nuffield Foundation, Open Society Initiative for Europe, RH Southern, Sainsbury’s Family Trusts, Scurrah Wainwright, Social Science Research Council, Trocaire and WWF-UK.
We’ve also been kindly, but indirectly, supported by the funders of other organisations we partner with, such as in our work with ILGA-Europe and NEON. And through free technology from organisations including NordVPN, UserTesting, Mural and Slack.
If you would like to support PIRC, donate here or get in touch.
