World Development Movement Trust

The World Development Movement Trust is a registered charity (CC No. 1064066) linked to WDM.

WDM Trust enables us to use charitable income from individuals, churches and charitable trusts to fund our research and education work, whilst leaving WDM free to campaign at a political level. The Trust funds the key research and publications which underpin our campaigns.

The Trust is also active in a small way in direct relief of poverty. Its Tanzania Rural Revival initiative is especially linked to Bulongwa and its neighbourhood and a "Peppercorn" scheme, run jointly with another Trust that specialises in employment generation by refurbishing computers, supplies computers to schools and other institutions, mainly in Africa. Both of these also welcome donations.

Through the WDM Trust, you can support WDM's work 'tax effectively' - if you are a UK tax-payer. This means that we can claim back from the Inland Revenue the tax you have already paid - making your gift worth 28% more at no extra cost to you.
