How we are funded
Our total income for 2010/11 was £6,096,280.
This represents an increase of 4% on the previous year's income. However, during the year we had to plan for a reduced turnover in 2011/12, due to funding difficulties caused by the global financial crisis and recession.
Most of our income comes from institutional donors and funders. Our largest funder is the UK Department for International Development (DFID) with whom we have an important and valued strategic programme partnership.
During the year 2010/11 we successfully bid for DFID funding for the three years from April 2011, in a competitive process in which less than one in 10 applicants were successful. The level of this funding for 2011/12 is a reduction on the level of previous years, but still represents a major endorsement of our work, and gives us a level of security and stability for the next three years, albeit with a reduced turnover.
