Our collaborative approach and our relationships with partner institutions enable us to accomplish numerous large-scale and transformative projects despite our limited resources.

For every $1 that is donated in 2010, Slought Foundation raises an additional $30 for the organization's activities.

For example, in 2010 we received $5,300 dollars from individual donors, which enabled us to raise an additional $158,736 from foundations, university partnerships, and publications. Without that initial donation, we could not raise the other support.

If in-kind support of $127,500 is included, every $1 that is donated enables Slought Foundation to raise an additional $54. Salaries, utilities, and computing services are examples of in-kind support we receive.

Slought Foundation uses each dollar received for: public programs (47%), publications (20%), facility (18%), honoraria (7%), office expenses (6%), website (1%), and advertising (1%).









Slought Foundation has an international impact, with programs positioned in relation to the changing status of public culture and the public sphere. The following examples demonstrate the organization's reach:
