How We Are Funded
CDP’s funding comes from a combination of government and philanthropic grants and a mission-complementary fee for service (‘F4S’ activities). The combined income of the members of the three legally separate parts of the CDP Global System (CDP Worldwide Group, CDP Europe AISBL Group and CDP North America) in the year ending 31 March 2024 (2023/24) was £85.6m (US$107.4m).
