The Foundation is the authorised staffing establishment of the cathedral, few of whom are clergy. The head of the cathedral is the [[Dean of Canterbury|Dean]], currently [[David Monteith]], who is assisted by a chapter of 30 [[canon (priest)|canons]], four of whom are residentiary, the others being honorary appointments of senior clergy in the [[diocese]]. There are also a number of lay canons who all together form the greater chapter which has the legal responsibility both for the cathedral itself and also for the formal election of an archbishop when there is a vacancy-in-see. By English law and custom, they may only elect the person who has been nominated by the [[monarch]] on the advice of the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|prime minister]]. The Foundation also includes the choristers, lay clerks, organists, [[The King's School, Canterbury#Traditions|King's Scholars]], the [[Six Preachers]] and a range of other officers; some of these posts are moribund, such as that of the cathedral barber. The cathedral has a workforce of over 300 (many of whom work part-time), and approximately 800 volunteers.

The Cathedral uses "Vice Dean" not of one particular appointee, but to refer to the [[Canon in Residence]] for each month.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Canon-Treasurer-Job-Description_-Nov-2019.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102123306/https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Canon-Treasurer-Job-Description_-Nov-2019.pdf|title=Canon treasurer job description|archive-date=2 January 2020}}</ref><!--Philip Down, Archdeacon of Ashford, was a non-residentiary member of chapter; his successor, Darren Miller, is now listed with the Archdeacon of Maidstone as a College (but not Chapter) member-->

=== Finance ===
Canterbury Cathedral receives no government or state funding and only occasional grants from [[English Heritage]]. It is not funded by the Church of England. The [[Church Commissioners]] pay the salary of the [[Dean (religion)|dean]] and two of the residentiary [[Canon (priest)|canons]] only. The cathedral is therefore largely self-funded.

It costs around £20,000 per day to maintain the cathedral. (2023)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/visit/information/some-facts-you-may-not-know/|title=Did you know?|website=Canterbury-cathedral.org|access-date=30 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712052323/https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/visit/information/some-facts-you-may-not-know/|archive-date=12 July 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> In order to meet these costs the cathedral has to rely on income from entry fees paid by visitors and a number of commercial operations such as property rental, the Cathedral Shop, as well as the Cathedral Lodge Hotel and Conference Centre.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/visit/conference-meeting-facilities/|title=Conference & Meeting Facilities|website=Canterbury-cathedral.org|access-date=30 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712084037/https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/visit/conference-meeting-facilities/|archive-date=12 July 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

==== Appeal ====
The "Save Canterbury Cathedral" appeal was launched in October 2006 to protect and enhance the cathedral's future as a centre of worship, [[Cultural heritage|heritage]] and culture. The aim was to raise £50&nbsp;million; by the end of 2010 the appeal had raised £11.5&nbsp;million,<ref name="BBC News">{{cite news|title=Canterbury Cathedral appeal reaches £11.5m|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-11978543|work=[[BBC News]]|date=12 December 2010|access-date=21 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122182902/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-11978543|archive-date=22 November 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> and as at May 2014 over £20&nbsp;million had been raised.<ref name=newsletterMay2014 />

The core part of the fundraising programme is focused on the cathedral's fabric. The major [[conservation-restoration]] projects already identified will cost £30&nbsp;million. Fabric conservation is the most urgent element of the campaign. The appeal&nbsp;– the third of its kind following major fundraising drives at Canterbury in the 1950s and 1970s&nbsp;– was launched to fund these projects. [[Fundraising]] for the appeal will take place over a number of years both nationally and internationally, stressing the cathedral's role as the [[mother church]] of the worldwide [[Anglican Communion]] and as a [[World Heritage Site]]. An integrated conservation programme that addresses the priority areas has been drawn up by the cathedral's Surveyor to the Fabric, John Burton.

Major repair and conservation projects to be funded by the appeal include roofs of the nave, [[aisle]]s, and North West and South East [[Transept]]s; stone carvings, [[pinnacle]]s and stone facings of the central Bell Harry Tower; work on the North side of the Corona Chapel;<ref name="BBC News" /> conservation of the Christ Church Gate entry to the Precincts; conservation of stained glass and surrounding stonework throughout the cathedral; and preservation of the collection of historic books and [[manuscript]]s.

In addition, there are plans to refurbish the cathedral [[pipe organ]] and renovations to the Choir House have already been completed, providing better facilities for choristers. Improvements are planned to the fabric of the library buildings and to the cathedral's audio-visual and lighting systems which will significantly benefit visitors including the disabled, visually impaired and hard of hearing. The appeal also aims to develop the outmoded workshop area and [[stained glass]] studio, in order to ensure the survival of Canterbury as a [[centre of excellence]] for vital craft skills and to promote a sustainable maintenance base for work on the cathedral which can be viewed by the public.

The fundraising group is the Canterbury Cathedral Trust, an independent, registered charity (1112590) seeking funds to provide conservation, craftsmanship, music and education. Since mid-2017, the Chief Executive has been Sarah Frankland. The Trust was able to obtain the £24.7m needed for The Canterbury Journey multi-year restoration programme which was planned for completion in 2021. In 2016–17 the Trust received £3.66m in donations and an additional £1.61m had been pledged for future projects. The next plan was to raise funds to restore and improve the Quire organ by 2020. In 2017, the cathedral was planning to have the new Welcome Centre open in 2019, with exhibition spaces and viewing gallery.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/CCT-Annual-Report-2017.pdf|title=Annual Report|date=2017|website=Canterbury-cathedral.org|access-date=30 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712052737/https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/CCT-Annual-Report-2017.pdf|archive-date=12 July 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Police service ===
The cathedral has its own police service, known as the [[Canterbury Cathedral Close Constables]]. They are attested Constables, with powers of arrest, who police and protect the Cathedral and Close. They also work with [[Kent Police]].
