Philanthropy & Funding

Every Subscription
Funds The Work That
Matters.

We did not want to build a platform that just extracted value from sectors that already give everything. So from the start, the majority of what ATN earns goes straight back out to the charities and organisations working inside them.

This page explains how that works, where the money goes, and what it has funded so far.

How Funding Is Allocated

Where The Money Goes

From day one, the revenue model was designed around reinvestment. Every paid membership contributes to a funding pool that flows directly back into the sectors the platform serves.

60%

Sector Charities

Distributed To Charitable Organisations Working Across Justice, Mental Health, Social Care, And Physical Health.

40%

Operations & Platform

Server Infrastructure, Security, AI Processing, Team, Product Development, Research Integration, And Network Expansion.

How Charities Are Selected

Funding decisions are not made by the ATN team alone. Category partners and advisory board members with active sector knowledge nominate and review organisations each quarter. Criteria include geographic reach, proximity to the communities ATN serves, and demonstrated impact. Any organisation can also be nominated by a verified Gold or Silver member.

The Reinvestment Model

A Platform That Gives
More Than It Keeps

Most platforms extract. They take fees, build reserves, and grow their own infrastructure. ATN was designed differently. The people who built it came from within these sectors, and they had seen what happens when money circulates at the top rather than reaching the organisations doing the actual work.

The decision to route 60% of income directly to charities was not a marketing choice. It is written into the founding framework and sits outside of what any future investment round can alter.

When a probation officer pays for a Silver membership, two thirds of that subscription reaches a charity working in their sector. That is the deal. That has always been the deal.

Funding Principles

What We Commit To

These principles are not aspirational. They are operational. They govern every funding decision we make.

01

Charities First

The majority of what ATN earns goes directly to organisations doing the work. Not into a reserve. Not into growth. Into the hands of the charities operating in the sectors this platform was built to serve.

02

Transparent Allocation

Every funding decision is published. We document what we give, who we give it to, and what it was used for. If we cannot show our working, we should not be making the decision.

03

Sector-Led, Not Platform-Led

We do not decide unilaterally which organisations receive funding. Category partners and advisory board members guide the process, ensuring decisions are made by people with genuine sector knowledge.

04

No Strings Attached

Funding is not conditional on promoting ATN, contributing content, or entering into formal partnerships. Organisations that receive support are free to use it entirely as they see fit.

Reduction In Night-Of-Release Rough Sleeping

Groundwork Resettlement Trust

West Midlands, UK

The Challenge

Probation practitioners had been raising the same issue for two years: people were being released without stable accommodation, and the system had no coordinated way to act on that before release day. Funding from ATN helped Groundwork pilot a pre-release housing coordination model that brought together probation, local authority housing teams, and voluntary sector providers six weeks before each release date.

The Outcome

Rough sleeping on night of release reduced by 61% across the pilot cohort. The model is now being adopted by two neighbouring probation regions.
