I’ll be honest with you John. For Positive Money to have the impact we need in 2021, we need more supporters like you to make a donation today. At the moment fewer than 2% of supporters give regularly and it’s getting me worried.
As Chief Operating Officer, it’s my job to make sure Positive Money is financially robust, but right now 87% of our income comes from grants made by Trusts and Foundations. [1] We’re really grateful to all our grants funders and we’re fortunate to have them. But that’s too high a percentage. |

Grants often come with restrictions, like having to plan what we’ll spend money on years in advance. This limits our flexibility, and makes it harder to react quickly when new opportunities come up. But if this year’s taught us anything, it’s that we need to be prepared for the unexpected. We have more impact together when we’re ready to react.
2021 is going to bring huge opportunities for us to push for a fairer and greener economy - from how we recover from Covid to Brexit to a huge climate summit being hosted in the UK. If more supporters like you made a small, regular donation, together we’d have a bigger pot of flexible funding and be ready for whatever 2021 throws at us.
Since last week, 41 Positive Money heroes have already stepped up and become new donors. John, please will you set up a regular donation today? It takes 2 minutes. |

Compared to the big bank’s lobbyists, Positive Money operates on a shoestring budget. We’re trying to topple the titans of the financial system, but we’re very much David to their Goliath. As a Positive Money supporter you know better than most that money makes the world go round - it's time we had more of it in our corner.
Thanks to last week’s new donors, Positive Money now has more than £500 extra every month to spend on campaigns. More funding means more impact - more research reports, videos and advocacy work. To have ten times the impact, we need ten times the budget. And that’s where people power comes in again - if every supporter reading this gave just £2 a month, we’d have nearly £20,000 extra to spend on our campaigns together every month.
If you can, John, please hit a button below and set up your regular donation today. It only takes 2 minutes. |
