Funding

The CIC is supported by its dues-paying members and donors, through such programs as the Century Circle, who share our mission to engage citizens in shaping their country’s foreign-policy direction. We have, and also continue to receive, financial contributions from the many organizations noted below, whose support is essential for our day-to-day operations and for which we are most grateful.

CIC’s Funding Policies
The CIC is committed to independent, non-partisan research and scholarship and we do not take positions on matters of policy. Indeed, a wide range of views are presented on our website, in our publications and at our events.

Donors may not direct the outcome of any research or event, and those who fund fellowships are not involved in the selection of candidates to fill those posts.

The CIC is a registered charity in Canada and all contributions are fully deductible within the limits of the law. A full list of donors is published each year in conjunction with the CIC’s annual report.
