90 NORTH FOUNDATION
90 North Foundation's objective is to inform and catalyse the international policy-making process through which a North Pole Marine Reserve can be established for the Central Arctic Ocean's high seas. To deliver this outcome, the Foundation secures funds from philanthropists, corporates, grant-awarding bodies, and the public for relevant marine research, public education and conservation advocacy.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's turnover was below approximately £223,000 and it remained in credit with no outstanding liabilities. However, the trustees note that insufficient funding limits the scale of work and the charity is dependent on securing future grants and donations.
What the accounts disclose
“Inigo Ltd made donations totalling £190,000. The Fishmongers Company's 'Fisheries Charitable Trust' granted £25,000.”
“Insufficient funds to date, but it is planned to accumulate £30,000 reserves as soon as reasonably possible.”
“The charity operates in a highly specialist field geographically and is focused on securing global public benefits. This severely limits sources of funding. It continues to be dependent on grants from UK and international awarding bodies and corporate donations.”
“All work for the period Apr 2024 – Apr 2025 was commissioned by the board of trustees and delivered/managed by the charity’s executive director who was paid through Pen Hadow Consultancy Ltd.”
