We are now raising £3000 to continue to support paid-forward Ethical Consumer subscriptions after the success of our first trial
by Ethical Consumer Magazine in Manchester, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
After a successful trial of Pay-It-Forward subscriptions, we are continuing the project, with additional funding supporting more people in gaining access to Ethical Consumer as a resource, to help them challenge corporate power and put their money where their values are.
Our research shows that the Ethical Consumption market is growing each year, with more people challenging corporate power and putting their money where their values are. However, increasing numbers of people are struggling financially because of the cost of living/greed crisis, which has pushed bills higher, with people reviewing their outgoings to see what they can cut or look for cheaper options.
We believe that finding the right information to challenge corporate power and buying ethical products shouldn’t be a barrier for anyone, and whilst we try to keep our prices as low as possible, not everyone can afford an annual subscription. That is why we are offering Pay-It-Forward subscriptions.
We have a target of £3000. This will go towards funding subscriptions for anyone who can't afford one and signs up using the form below.
Anyone is welcome to donate any amount at all, whether it is £1, £3, or more, that will go towards the subscriptions for anyone who is looking to start or continue their ethical consumption journey as best as they can.
If you would like to apply for a paid-forward subscription for one year for yourself, all you need to do is fill in this form. We will only ask for a name, postal address, email address, and what type of subscription you would like, no other information is needed.
You can get more information on signing up for a paid-forward subscription on our website here.
You can sign up for paid-forward subscriptions here.
As soon as enough money has been donated to the crowdfunder for at least one subscription, we will assign this to the first person who has filled in the form. Unfortunately, as these subscriptions will be assigned on a case-by-case basis if more than 55 people have signed up, we will be unable to accommodate everyone.
For more information on this, please refer back to our website for our FAQ.
Please note that Crowdfunder automatically adds a 20% optional donation when submitting for a donation.
