Governance

The B Team places its principles of sustainability, equality and accountability at the heart of its operations and culture. The B Team is committed to being transparent and accountable to its partners and supporters, and to its mission.

How we are funded

More than half of The B Team’s funding comes from its core funders, including our Leaders and Foundations who provide unrestricted support to the organization. We are also funded by programmatic funders who provide restricted support for one or more of our Causes.

How we use our funding

Unrestricted funding is allocated across the organization, in line with the priorities set by the Board to achieve our mission. Programmatic funding is distributed based on the objectives and deliverables of each cause area in partnership with each donor.
