Like all think tanks, research centres in the Americas,
we get our funding from a variety of sources. We compete for the same sources and we are funded in the same manner as the Brookings Institution, Fedesarrollo in Colombia, and Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales. We get money from the government.
We get quite a bit of money from the Canadian government. This being Canada, that should come as no surprise to anyone.
We get some money from the Inter-American Development Bank. We do get money from the Ford Foundation and we occasionally get bits and pieces from the private sector.
Again, this being Canada, we're not as fortunate as our American counterparts in the financing they get from the private sector. It is an independent, non-partisan policy research centre, also known as a centre d'investigation, centre de réflexion.
