How we are funded
How we are funded
We are committed to being open about our funding and have received the highest transparency rating from the ‘Who Funds You?’ project.
We work with and are supported by charitable trusts, foundations, businesses, unions, voluntary sector organisations, local government, and individuals. We never accept money from political parties, and IPPR research is always independent of both political parties and our funders.
IPPR is an independent registered charity, and our work would not be possible without the support offered to us by a wide range of funders, including charitable trusts, foundations, businesses, unions, voluntary sector organisations, local government, national government departments and individuals. We never accept money from political parties.
IPPR recognises that there is a public interest in the funding of think tanks, and we are committed to increasing transparency in this area. Every year, we publish our annual report, which outlines how our income is raised and spent. Who Funds You? has awarded IPPR its highest transparency rating of 'A', and Transparify has awarded IPPR its four-star 'broadly transparent' rating.
