FAQs

All of our funding comes from monthly and one-off donations by supporters. We use donations to pay for the staffing and other costs of:

  • researching issues and causes, including by commissioning polls and reports;
  • developing and progressing campaign actions, such as our video demonstrations and petitions;
  • keeping our supporters updated via email and social media;
  • communicating more widely about our work and the value of the arts, including through the press and with Government;
  • maintaining the Arts Map, our digital platform linking UK citizens with local cultural organisations;
  • running our organisation, ensuring that our finances are well-managed and controlled.

The Public Campaign for the Arts manages its finances in accordance with policies and procedures approved by its Board. We do not exist to generate a profit. We plan to match our expenditure with our income whilst maintaining a reasonable level of reserves to ensure that we are able to respond to opportunities and adapt should we face adverse events.

The Public Campaign for the Arts is registered as a private not-for-profit company limited by guarantee (Company Registration Number 12715926). This means we are not constrained in our campaigning by the statutory regulation which applies to registered charities. We do, however, operate under governance structures typical of charitable companies; we don’t have shareholders, and our Director reports to the PCA Board, which is comprised of unpaid volunteers who govern the organisation on behalf of our supporters. Unfortunately, we are unable to claim Gift Aid on donations.
