FUNDING

CMI is a non-profit organisation funded by public and private sources. The organisation’s total income in 2019 was 9.3 million.

CMI’s biggest funder is the Government of Finland, accounting for 47 % of total funding in 2019. Other key funders include European Union with 17% and Sweden with 14 % of total funding. Other government funding was 9% 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 in 2019 grew significantly making it the second largest funder with a 17% share of total funding.

Eurasia, Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa continue to account for the majority (66%) of CMI’s actual expenses. The share of Asia and Women in Peacemaking is steadily growing.
