Sustainable funding in practice

We have collected a range of real life examples of organisations implementing a sustainable funding approach: trading, contracting, using loan finance, understanding their full costs and more. 

Their experiences should offer you fresh perspectives and some idea of the possibilities available.


What’s new - July/August 2008

*New* case study: WebPlay

WebPlay thumbThis case study looks at how WebPlay (an educational arts charity) utilised loan finance to overcome a reliance

Loan finance provided financial stability, enabling WebPlay to focus on scaling up operations and create an earned income strategy.

Read how WebPlay has grown from a turnover of £20,000 to £500,000 in the UK alone through selling its projects directly to individual schools, generating 30 per cent of income through trading.


Case studies are provided in the following areas:
