Project partners and funding

How will the project be funded?

We need to raise £3.6 million to complete Phase One of the Westonbirt Project, which includes the new Welcome Building, the restoration of the historic Grade I Listed Downs landscape and the relocation of the car park (currently on the Downs).

The Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum have committed at least £500,000 to the project, which has been accrued over recent years from membership subscriptions. In addition we have already embarked on a fundraising campaign which will focus on raising the money needed in the following ways:

Applications to relevant statutory bodies, trusts and foundations for funding. For details of who our funding partners are please see below;
A capital campaign using highly personalised fundraising methods to secure gifts ranging from £1,000 to £500,000 from major donors.
