YOUR DONATION HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD

Your financial support makes it possible for us to provide open access to high quality research along with a
unique collaboration platform to work across international regions, disciplines and industries. The current form of capitalism is a global problem, thus only a global solution will suffice. ECGI is uniquely placed, with its international network of influential members, to provide the research, data and direction needed to shape the future of capitalism and the global policy landscape.

How to Donate

You can enter a donation below and we will contact you to provide proof of receipt with our gratitude. Please contact us if you are interested in making a corporate donation.

Why Donate?

Donor involvement means shaping the future of capitalism, joining a high-level international collaboration, engaging with the foremost international finance, economic, law and management scholars, influencing the global policy landscape and association with positive change for society, business and humanity.

ECGI has secured the expertise and commitment from a global team of specialists to lead its current initiatives, including

the working paper series,
the spotlight series,
the ECGI Blog
and most recently, the Responsible Capitalism project.

There is unbounded interest and willingness from the cohort of almost 330 globally located ECGI researcher members to engage with and push boundaries on research that matters.

All donors are listed on our Supporters page unless they choose not to.

Becoming a Patron

The income of the Foundation is provided principally by donations from Benefactors – companies, individuals or organisations that pledge an amount of €250,000 over five years either in annual increments or as a lump sum. Such Benefactors become de facto Patrons of the Foundation.

The Foundation welcomes opening discussions with organisations or individuals that are prepared to make a commitment of EUR 250,000. Potential Patrons will be asked to complete and submit the Pledge for Donations Form. The initial payment must be made at the latest within the first month of the calendar year or of the business year of the Patron, following the signature of the pledge, whichever is more compatible with the budgeting requirements of the Patron.

Subject to the concurrence of existing Patrons and the Board of the ECGI, the new benefactor
will be invited to become a Patron of the Foundation and to nominate a representative to join the Patrons Council. The benefactor will automatically become a Patron Member of the ECGI.

If you would like to know more about becoming a Patron please contact: elaine.mcpartlan@ecgi.org
