All the things that make People & Planet special - our democratic governance, our radical campaigning edge and our independence of thought and action - depend on our being able to raise money that is free from economic, religious, political or other conditions. We rely on the generosity and commitment of individuals who give regularly to us via our committed giving scheme, the FAN Club, and of the student activists who take part in fund- raising activities. Income from committed giving and fundraising events combined grew by 26% this year; Thank you to all those individual supporters who made this possible.
We are very fortunate to have the support of a growing number of private, charitable trusts and foundations, who collectively contributed 35% of our income this year. We are particularly grateful to the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, the City Bridge Trust and the Jack Petchey Foundation for the substantial contributions they have made to our work.

We accept funding from government agencies when we can use these funds in a way that doesn’t compromise our values or the independence of our campaigning voice. In 2006-7, the European Union provided a significant grant to People & Planet in support of our work in Sixth Forms.
We are grateful to those corporate partners who supported our work this year; namely, Café Direct, the Co-operative Bank and the Day Chocolate Company. Companies are carefully vetted using criteria and procedures laid down in our Guidelines for Fundraising from Corporates.
