Amounts in the table are the sum of all donations made by all donations made by all donors connected to the U.S. government, Pentagon contractors, or foreign governments. A full list of these donors and their specific contributions is available at the “Download the Data” button. The amounts shown here are minimum known amounts, as many think tanks only disclose funding in ranges (e.g. $250,001 to $500,000). Thus, the amounts shown are, in most cases, conservative estimates of the amount of money donated to think tanks. See our Methodology for more information.

∗ Not Accepted – Think tank published a donor roll and did not accept contributions from this category
† Not Available – Think tank did not publish a donor roll
§ Unknown Amount – Think tank did publish a donor roll but did not disclose amounts
