Over the next two to three years, E4C will be relying on grant funding, sponsorship and donations to enable us to carry out our activities.


Grant Funding

It is our aim to become as self-sufficient as possible, although in the first three years we do envisage that we will have to rely on grant funding.  

Donations

Your donation, no matter how small, will help us to develop E4C even further.  We currently do not have on-line facilities for receiving donations, but if you would like to make a donation then please download a form and send it to us along with your donation.

Sponsorship

E4C is actively seeking sponsorship from both individuals and companies.   We have a series of eco arts education activities lined up we need funding to be able to do this.  Can you or your organisation help.  If so, please contact Denise Taylor on 44 (0) 24 7666 3625.  The sponsorship does not have to be in cash.  Equipment and materials would help tremendously at this stage.  Perhaps your company has exhibition stands it no longer needs.  Please see our Wish List for further information.


Self-Sufficiency

In time, there will be a whole range of merchandise, teaching materials and aids and other products and services.  The sale of these will help raise some of the funding required for E4C to operate effectively.   There will be further information about this aspect of E4C in the next few weeks as the site is developed further.

WHAT WE NEED THE FUNDING FOR

Salaries and Operational Expenses

In order for E4C to function properly, we will need to recruit a number of staff for the day to day operations, technical expertise and administration.

There will also be some professional fee expenses for accountancy and legal services.  

Merchandise, Products and Services

E4C will provide a range of merchandise, products and services which will be available for sale, and which will generate some of the funding needed to enable a level of self-sufficiency.  However, there will be some upfront outlay required for this which will need to be funded from external sources in the early phase of development.


Financial Administration

Finally, we want everyone who has any input into E4C to know that all financial administration and management will be clearly visible, and available for everyone to see.
