How we are funded
Pilotlight is a registered charity (no. 1059660).
Our business volunteers, known as Pilotlighters, pay an annual membership donation to join Pilotlight. Through membership, grants and individual donations, Pilotlight is able to achieve sustainability and carry out special project work.
The minimum donation from individual Pilotlighters is £1,575 and we work with our corporate members to create a specific programme that meets their interests.
Seventy five per cent of our work is funded by membership; the more members that join Pilotlight, the more project managers we can employ and the more charities we can help.
