Funding

Ekklesia think-tank (2002 – 2024) existed financially on modest income from publishing, project fees, and donations.

We received no large corporate or political contributions and we were not affiliated to any party, religious organisation or commercial interest group.

Since 2006 we were a company limited by guarantee, structured and operating on a not-for-profit basis. Since 2022 Ekklesia was run through Ekklesia Publishing, a sole trader business of the director.

Over the past seven years Ekklesia has existed on donors and project/sales income averaging at between £1,000 to £2,000 per year. We have always been happy to answer questions about finance and believe strongly in transparency for the think-tank sector.

From 2013 to 2016 only, Ekklesia received regeneration funding from a charitable trust. Our annual income peaked at £92,000 during that period.

The maximum individual contribution we ever received is £2,500. Over the past twenty years we had small donations from some 500 individuals, to whom we were and are extremely grateful.

We would especially like to thank the Rev Willard E. Roth, Alice M. Roth, Frank Strang and Bishop David Atkinson for their kind support in helping to make this site and our publishing sites possible.
