The Future Fund
Investing in EJA's future
Your gift to EJA's Future Fund is the key to creating a lasting impact.
By investing in EJA's Future Fund, you provide urgent and sustained funds to support our game-changing legal work, now and into the coming decades.
The Future Fund is an endowment fund – a rolling investment fund that provides planned and secure income to EJA.
It serves as a cornerstone of our financial independence, ensuring EJA's vital work continues for generations to come.
This fund is vital to our ability to be bold and fearless: to challenge destruction, hold the powerful to account, and use the law to create a radically better world.
In 2022, a visionary donor planted the seed for EJA's long-term sustainability and independence by establishing an endowment fund.
Investing in the Future Fund doesn't just sustain game-changing legal work today – it empowers environmental lawyers to use the law in bold and strategic ways for the future.
How does the Future Fund work?
The Future Fund is powerful tool for creating lasting impact. The fund serves as a financial reservoir that provides a reliable source of funding, even in uncertain times.
The fund is carefully cultivated to provide sustainable funding for EJA's game-changing legal work in perpetuity. By preserving the principal amount and investing ethically and strategically, then drawing on the investment returns, the fund enables EJA to maintain financial stability and independence.
As well as long-term confidence, investing in EJA's Future Fund provides an annual distribution to cover our core operating costs, to seed new initiatives and power urgent legal actions as they arise.
How is the Future Fund managed?
The Future Fund is in trusted hands. Governed by a committee of of EJA Board Members, our Reserves and Investments Policy ensures transparency, impact and accountability every step of the way.
