Greenwatch’s budget includes core funding as well as special project funds. Greenwatch owes much of its success to our donor partners who have supported the various activities that we do.

We receive financial support from national and international donors to enable us pursue our objectives. Fundraising is done autonomously; most of the funds acquired are specifically allocated to particular projects activities.

The organization has in the past received financial support from the following sources:

i) The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is a private, independent grantmaking institution dedicated to helping groups and individuals foster lasting improvement in the human condition. Through the support it provides, the Foundation fosters the development of knowledge, nurtures individual creativity, helps strengthen institutions, helps improve public policy, and provides information to the public, primarily through support for public interest media.
