How We're Funded
We’re grateful to everyone who supports our work. Whether you're a grant-giving foundation, business, member, fundraiser or shop customer. Every contribution, large and small, helps us to thrive and safeguard the future of sharks.
Much of our conservation work is funded by grants and foundations. It's vital that we have funds to support our projects and campaigns. Yet to exist and function we also need core (unrestricted) income.
Due to the nature of our work, we think and plan long term. Making positive change at policy level (where it most counts) is often a long and laborious process. The stability core income provides enables us to maintain our commitment to long-term projects. It also allows us to seed-fund new projects when the need arises.
We have the know-how, connections and sheer dogged determination to create positive change for sharks. And, with your kind contributions, you enable our success. By becoming a member, donating, fundraising, adopting a shark, or buying something from our Shark Shop you’re making a difference.
We are committed to keeping our costs down to provide the best value for money that we can deliver. Our small team engages with a global network of partners, using our influence and sharing our experiences to lead and support shark and ray conservation efforts efficiently and with clear purpose.
Each year we submit a detailed financial report to the Charity Commission, who are responsible for regulating UK charities, and to Companies House.
