How is the HRI financed?
The HRI is privately funded and receives no funding from government donors in order to protect the independence and integrity of the research process. During the first two years, seed money was provided by private philanthropists to help start up the HRI. As of 2009, the HRI council, a small group of foundations, has contributed to the costs of producing the HRI. Many different humanitarian agencies also support the HRI by providing in-kind goods, services and logistics support during the HRI missions and to promote and disseminate the findings to a wider audience.
