NRGI donor partners
The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) receives contributions and grants from foundations, governments and international financial institutions. We are extremely grateful for the generous support of past and present donor partners.
NRGI's donors include philanthropic foundations such as the African Climate Foundation, Energy Transition Fund, European Climate Foundation, Ford Foundation, Heising-Simons Foundation, Luminate, Open Society Foundations and the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation; bilateral donors including the governments of Finland, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, the United States; and multilateral institutions including the United Nations Democracy Fund and the World Bank.
NRGI takes seriously its commitment to transparency and so it discloses financial information beyond what is traditionally made available in annual financial statements and U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax forms.
With support from and in consultation with donor partners and its governing board, NRGI publishes information for contributions and grants of $10,000 or more. NRGI is the recipient of a five-star rating from
Transparify, reflecting transparency in public disclosure of funding. NRGI also has a
Charity Navigator score of 100 out of 100, reflecting NRGI’s financial health and its commitment to governance practices and policies.
Detailed below are NRGI’s current contributions and grants received. There are also links for contributions and grants from 2013 to 2020, our audited financial statements from 2006 – 2021 and our IRS Form 990s for 2006 - 2021.
