FUNDING
CMI is a non-profit organisation funded by public and private sources. The organisation’s total income in 2021 was 11.6 million.
CMI’s biggest funder is the Government of Finland, accounting for 51 % of total funding in 2020. Other key funders include European Union with 23% and Sweden with 15 % of total funding. Other government funding was 6% of total funding.
A broad funding base ensures that CMI can remain independent and impartial, and builds a solid grounding for the future. Corporate governance and financial monitoring at CMI is ethically sound, rigorous, and fully transparent. In the coming years, CMI expects steady growth and is working to build a broader funding base.

Finland continues to be CMI’s core funder. EU’s share of funding has grown steadily and it remains the second largest funder with a 23% share of total funding.

Eurasia, Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa continue to account for the majority (71%) of CMI’s actual expenses. Middle East and North Africa had strong growth in 2021.

Private Funders
The total amount of private funding is of vital importance for our work to ensure that we can react rapidly to emerging conflicts and work autonomously. CMI’s private fundraising strategy in Finland is based on three pillars: private individuals, corporate partnerships, and foundations.
INDIVIDUALS
CMI accepts donations from individuals and has a circle of private donors who are committed to supporting CMI’s peacebuilding work by donating to us annually. You can donate to us e.g. via online payment form here.
