The IEA is funded by voluntary donations from individuals, foundations and companies who support our mission, plus income from subscriptions, book sales, studio work and events.
We do not make demands of all our supporters to be publicly listed. We respect the privacy rights of donors to donate to charity without being publicly identified if they so choose. Reasons for privacy rest with donors but include modesty, personal security, or a desire to avoid being targeted for donations by other organisations.
In a free society people should be free to associate with whomever they like and back any cause, without fear or favour. The conclusions of our research are never dictated by our supporters. The IEA and retains full editorial control over all its output.
