# Green Party — Donor Model

# Green Party — Donor Profile

**Key feature:** The Green Party of England and Wales does not accept large corporate donations or donations from companies with government contracts. Their funding model is based primarily on:

- Individual membership subscriptions
- Small donations from members and supporters
- Crowdfunding campaigns for elections
- Bequests in wills
- Local party fundraising

**Notable individual donors:** There are no individual "megadonors" to the Green Party comparable to other parties. The party's constitution and ethical policy explicitly limit large donations. The party has a policy of not accepting donations from:

- Companies with government contracts
- Companies involved in fossil fuels, arms, or gambling
- Anonymous donations over £500

**Funding scale (2024-2026):** The Green Party's total income is estimated at £2-5 million annually — vastly smaller than Labour or Conservative fundraising. Most comes from membership fees and small donations.

**Transparency notes:** 
- The Greens are consistently rated the most transparent UK party on funding by transparency campaigners
- All donations over £500 are publicly declared
- The party has never been investigated by the Electoral Commission over funding irregularities

## Summary

The Greens are fundamentally different from other parties in their donor model. There are no wealthy individual donors to track — the party's funders are its members.
