FAQs
Are you a charity?
We Are What We Do is made up of a social business (the We Are What We Do Community Interest Company) and a Charitable Foundation (the We Are What We Do Foundation). The business does all the making and selling of products and services and when it generates profits they go to the Foundation, where we run all our education and community programmes.

How are you funded?
Our social business has income from products and services, for example our shop, our rentable space, speaking events and corporate partnerships.
We have a range of supporters for our education and community work, including the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Callouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Nominet Trust.
We also receive pro bono legal support from Lyndales Solicitors. Many other companies and organisations have supported us since we launched in 2004 – too many to list here – but we’re massively grateful to every single one of them.
We also receive donations to our Charitable Foundation.
