In case you're not aware, the Guardian is funded by the Scott Trust (https://www.theguardian.com/the-scott-trust), with the idea of ensuring the Guardian would "remain free of commercial pressures". From the site:

>The Scott Trust was originally created in 1936 to secure the financial and editorial independence of the Guardian in perpetuity and to safeguard the journalistic freedom and liberal values of the Guardian free from commercial or political interference.
