Full Fact is independent of the government and political parties, and not-for-profit. We rely on individuals and donations from charitable trusts.
We don’t accept statutory funding, but we do earn money from carefully chosen commission work that doesn’t present a conflict of interest.
We are grateful for the donations we’ve received from these charitable trusts:
Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust
Peter Samuel Charitable Trust
JRSST-CT (Joseph Rowntree Social Services Trust, endowed by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust Ltd)
We are grateful to our Chairman, Michael Samuel, for his past and continuing financial support.
Our running costs consist mostly of paying staff and renting office space in London. In 2014 we expect them to reach about £300,000. We have the usual overheads of a small organisation, from computer equipment and internet connection to having our accounts audited. This year we have also spent money on rebranding and launching our new website, which was made possible by a dedicated grant from the Nuffield Foundation.
