Donor Support Group

ISAAA is funded by fixed-term commitments through a donor support group composed of a balanced representation of public and private sector institutions. No core funding is being mobilized, allowing full flexibility for changes in future directions without encumbering donor communities with long-term and less flexible core commitments. The fixed-term funding strategy exposes the program to regular and effective peer review when accessing competitive international funding. The donor support group, with equitable distribution from North America, Europe, and the Asian Pacific Rim, will be comprised of approximately 12 private foundations, 12 bilateral/multilateral agencies, and 12 private sector corporations. An early tangible expression of support is demonstrated by a number of significant grants awarded to ISAAA from the following donors/groups:
