Donors to Chatham House in 2014-15
About this list
This list is based on income recognised in the financial year ending 31 March 2015.
It incorporates grants for research projects and discretionary contributions to research departments;
support to the Queen Elizabeth II Academy and its fellowship positions; event sponsorship; corporate
membership dues; and philanthropic donations to the institute, including endowment and capital gifts.
Where relevant, the list combines multiple donations from the same organisation to show their total
contribution to the institute's recognised income over the year.
Key
Bold: Denotes donations that include endowment gifts.
Italic: Denotes either fully or partly in-kind contributions, including reciprocal membership relations.
† Chatham House currently lists a total of 512 donors of which 14 have indicated their wish to remain
anonymous and this listing reflects their wishes. Our current policy is to reduce to zero the number of
supporters who are unnamed. The identities of all donors listed anonymously are known to the institute’s
Director and Council.
* The Chatham House Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt charity registered in the United States in
1982. The Foundation is a separate legal entity to Chatham House and has its own board of trustees. It
makes grants to Chatham House under its objectives which are to promote the study of international
affairs and to bring to an American audience the type of rigorous analysis, independent speakers and
Members Events developed by Chatham House. A list of Chatham House Foundation donors can be found
on pages 12-13.
