Funding from fossil fuel interests

The request was successful.

Dear Sir John Soane's Museum,

I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) to ask that you please disclose to me any and all funding your organisation has received from fossil fuel (oil, gas, coal) over the last 5 years, year on year. This could be funding for galleries, exhibitions, research funding, grants, or other such agreements. If this cannot be done within the cost limit I would the same for the last three years (2020, 2021, 2022)

The companies I would like you to focus on are: BP, Glencore, Petrofac, Shell (Royal Dutch Shell), Total, ExxonMobil, Schlumberger, Centrica, Equinor, BHP Group, Bantu, Eni, Chevron, Enbridge, ConocoPhilip, Chesapeake Energy, and Cluff Energy.

Yours faithfully,

Max Colbert.
