How we are funded

We receive core funding from the UK higher education and further education funding bodies.

The majority of our funding comes from the UK HE and FE funding bodies, with additional support coming via membership subscriptions from higher education institutions (UK-wide) and further education institutions (in England only). HESA data is funded by subscriptions from the higher education providers from whom data is collected.

Our core funders collectively nominate one person to the board. A single observer representing all the funders can attend board meetings. Each core funder also sits on the funders and owners group which provides advice to our trustees and leadership team.
