H&F gets its funding from two main sources: members paying their assessed contributions (members approve its price every two years), and VC (voluntary contributions) from comedy clubs and other partners in the private sector. The remainder of H&F’s financing is in the form of government grants, crowdfunding campaigns and smaller VC from individual donors.

H&F’s members are currently engaging in an active discussion to find ways to improve H&F’s funding and ensure it is flexible, predictable and sustainable.
