How we are financed

Ethex has initially been supported by a number of trusts and foundations offering a mixture of grants and favourable loans. These are:

•  The Tudor Trust 
• The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
• LankellyChase Foundation
• Friends Provident Foundation
• Barrow Cadbury Trust 
• Big Lottery Fund.

In the longer term, Ethex intends to become self-financing, with income generated from both our business and our investor members. 

Ethex’s not-for-profit status helps to keep costs down. We are staffed by a team of 5, working on developing the website, handling customer orders, finding new businesses and investors and fulfilling regulatory requirements. Staff salaries range from £20,000 to £45,000 per annum.
