Funded by
Anglo American

Anglo American pledged a four-year £4m funding package to the Foundation when it acquired the Woodsmith Project in March 2020. Since 2020 the Foundation has received a further £1m a year from Anglo American and Anglo American Foundation.

Longer term, it will be funded by a percentage of mine revenue, which is expected to amount to several million pounds per year.
