Some of Washington's top think tanks are quietly releasing funding data amid a powerful push by some groups for more transparency.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) is the latest think tank to disclose its donor data, after the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) quietly released a bunch of updated funding data.
You can be among the first to check out CEIP's 2014 contributors and funders here. Several entities have given CEIP more than $1 million in 2014, including the Carnegie Corporation of New York, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the UK Department for International Development.
Entities that have given the think tank between $250,000 and $999,999 is FY 2014 include the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the International Development Research Centre (Canadian).
The US Department of Defense, US Department of State, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) have each given more than $100,000.
Here is CEIP's funding policy statement. The think tank says that it relies on its endowment (the legacy of Andrew Carnegie's original 1910 gift of $10 million), to provide core funding for its programs. That endowment covers close to 50 percent of the think tank's annual budget.
More coming soon....
