Planet Wild is financed through three pillars:
1. We currently use 15% of the Rewilding Membership to help cover our costs. So far this not enough to cover all of our cost, but we’re committing to never make any profits through the Rewilding Membership. Instead we would reduce the allocation if it would cover all of our expenses.
2. Our marketing costs are covered by members who allocate a portion of their funding towards the Growth of the Planet Wild Community, which results in even more money for our rewilding projects.
3. We currently finance the remaining cost through a mix of YouTube ad revenue, paid film jobs for other orgs and companies (a notable partner is Ecosia), and one-time contributions from donors.
Every month we produce a comprehensive Mission Report which outlines exactly what your money has been spent on, and once a year we share our financial report. Read more about Transparency at Planet Wild here.
