Who We Are

A New Era of Philanthropy

Commonwealth Portal is a trailblazing philanthropic initiative operating across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. At the heart of our work lies a unique venture philanthropy model—one that empowers us to generate our own income, ensuring we are self-sustaining and completely independent of public donations.

This bold approach allows us to stay laser-focused on our mission: supporting small international development charities and driving education and engagement aligned with the Commonwealth’s vision of unity, growth, and shared progress.

How We Operate

Our venture philanthropy model ensures every penny we generate is reinvested into making an impact. 100% of the funds we raise through our programmes are directed towards:

  • Financial Support

    Donations, grants, and sponsorships for small international development charities.

  • Educational Outreach

    Engaging programmes designed to inspire learning and collaboration across the Commonwealth.

  • Portal Operations

    Maintaining our digital platform as a hub for knowledge and connection.

Meanwhile, all governance costs are fully covered by our founder through their business interests, allowing us to dedicate every resource to making a difference.

How We Generate Revenue

We fund our work through two primary streams:

  • Ticket and Sponsorship Sales

    For both in-person and virtual seminars that spark meaningful conversations and connections.

  • Corporate Sponsorships

    From partners who share our commitment to empowering small international development charities.

Initially established with full funding from our founder, Commonwealth Portal continues to thrive, thanks to their unwavering support and vision for a brighter future.
