Where does COEs funding come from?
COE’s primary source of operating funds comes from the US Department of Defense, as authorized and appropriated by Congress through the sponsorship of Senator Daniel K. Inouye. Additional funds are secured from diverse elements of the US Government, including the Department of State and the Department of Defense for specific conferences, seminars, or exercises. Events are often times co-sponsored by host nations and agencies and departments of the United Nations. COEs congressional mandate affords the unique ability to accept interdepartmental and international contributions. The Center has been actively establishing strategic partnerships with interagencies and DoD components, and also with the public/private sector such as foundations, institutes, universities, and corporations.
