Our Finances
As a fiscally sponsored project, the Council’s finances are officially reported as part of Community Initiative’s annual report and audited financial statements. The Council does not have separately audited statements or annual report. The Council has been generously funded primarily by the following philanthropic institutions: Arcus Foundation, Sigrid Rausing Trust, Open Society Foundations, and an anonymous source. In addition, the Council receives modest annual membership fees from its organizational members. Funds for lobbying-related activities are segregated and tracked seperately. The annual budget for the Council has averaged approximately $865,000, with 85% of those expenses going to its program work.
