Who funds us?

We are funded indirectly by the publishers we regulate through an arms-length body with no say in how the organisation is run

IPSO is financed by the Regulatory Funding Company (RFC) which is funded by member publications through subscription payments.

The payments cover the cost of IPSO operations, the separate Editors’ Code of Practice Committee and the running of the RFC itself.

This arrangement supports IPSO in carrying out its work separately and completely independently from its members.

In keeping with our commitment to transparency, you can read the terms of the funding agreement (2024) here.
