This category covers the following possibilities:

Funding from public authorities directed to specific GreenFacts Digests or their translation.
Contracts with international organizations for the production of GreenFacts Digests summarizing their own scientific reports (upon approval of our Scientific Board). So far, we had such contracts with WHO, FAO, and CBD.
Contracts with independent third-party organizations for the production of GreenFacts Co-Publications.
Contributions to the cost of printing and distributing paper versions of our publications.
With the agreement of our Boards, we can contract our know-how or licence our web-communication tools, such as our Three-Level Structure, to our Partner organizations that want to communicate complex reports to a non-specialist audience.
Other contracted work, such as translations or consultancy work. For instance, we were contracted by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment to translate two of their reports.

This category covers only structural funding from governmental institutions and international organizations (such as WHO, UNEP, FAO, CBB...).

So far, we have received a grant from Foundation HARAFI, a Swiss foundation which notably promotes sustainable fishing practices.

Many individuals and organizations have expressed their support to our publications and activities by making a financial gift.
