Finance and Main Partners

Pompaelo mostly self-finances, at the moment (no grants or public funds of any type; we haven’t asked for them either). We fund most events with member quotas, and complement that with the proceeds from the book sales.

We do have special tax status as MECNA (we are a “cultural project of social interest” for the Navarra regional government), and this has resulted in some small donations, adding up to less than €1500 in 2023 to date.

Our main partners are platforms such as Foro Profesores and Escuela de Todos. We are not part of, nor affiliated with, any other institution, federation, party or sponsor.
