4 Funding The RSPB has a policy of keeping only a few months’ running costs in its financial reserves. We must raise all our annual expenditure every year and we depend on a range of sources for this funding. Around 80% of the RSPB’s income comes from the generosity of individuals (our members and supporters) and although this income can be predicted with some certainty, it is by no means guaranteed and fluctuates. The RSPB must continue to pursue a wide variety of funding sources to continue its work and grant funding is a vital source in the mix. Many organisations (listed below) have funded specific science projects in 2005–06 through, for example, research contracts and grants towards partnership projects. Many of those listed are also active partners in the research, or may have provided additional support for wider conservation action. Anglian Water BP (through Scottish Forestry Alliance) British Birdfair British Potato Council British Trust for Ornithology Countryside Council for Wales Community Environmental Renewal Scheme Crop Protection Association UK The Crown Estates (via the Marine Stewardship Fund) Darwin Initiative Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Department for International Development English Nature Environment and Heritage Service, Northern Ireland EU Life Environment Fund EU Life Nature Fund Foreign and Commonwealth Office Forestry Commission (England, Scotland and Wales) HGCA Heritage Lottery Fund Ministry of Defence Moors for the Future Morrisons The Overseas Territories Environment Programme (OTEP) Perth & Kinross Quality of Life Trust The Rufford Foundation Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Ltd Scottish Executive's Biodiversity Action Grants Scheme Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department Scottish Natural Heritage SITA Trust Syngenta Crop Protection UK The Woodland Trust Sources of funding for RSPB science 2005/06 RSPB science expenditure 2005/06 (£4,743,404) RSPB fundraising Research grants and contracts In-house Contracted out Studentships
5 Partnerships By working with a wide range of partners during 2005–06 (listed below), the RSPB was able to maximise the quantity and quality of conservation science that it undertook. The value of partnership is nowhere more evident than in the contribution made by thousands of birdwatchers who take part in bird monitoring. Their contribution is invaluable.
