Pivotal secures its funding from a range of sources, thereby protecting its independence.
As well as their academic expertise, our university partners – Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University – have provided us with a range of in–kind and financial support.
We have also received funds from philanthropic, corporate and government supporters, all granted thanks to a belief that work undertaken by Pivotal can make a difference.
Regardless of who funds us, we retain the freedom to publish our findings and share our outputs with all.
All donors to Pivotal sign an agreement that they are not eligible to influence the content, findings or timing of Pivotal’s research outputs. An example of this funding agreement can be read here.
