Funding for IGGY
Securing income and support for IGGY is critical:
• University investment will be limited
• IGGY must become self-sustainable sooner rather than later
• membership fees will not apply for some time yet, so one source of
eventual income does not yet exist
• when fees are introduced they will need to be kept low – money from
other sources will allow the community to grow and remain diverse
• IGGY will develop organically and the rate of expansion will be
determined by income

Funding
Investment from partners can:
• be used for bursaries for the socially or
economically disadvantaged (cash or IT)
• sponsor of online or face-to-face activities (e.g.
projects, future IGGY U’s etc)
• be targeted to specific regions, socio-economic
groups or age ranges
• get entry to our corporate club
• provide pre-University scholarships
