Elgol Fund for Nature is funded by a single high net worth individual who is a UK resident and domiciled. The charity is not registered separately but operates via the NPT Transatlantic “donor advised fund” (DAF) platform.
The funds contributed to the DAF were generated from over 30 years of successful investing, realising capital gains from multiple private companies within private equity funds and independently. Those funds are now held by the charity in publicly quoted stocks and bonds ready to be liquidated for deployment in UK conservation. Exited investee companies were active in sectors as diverse as technology, media and sport, plus speciality chemicals, aerospace, energy transition and e-commerce.
