CSPI's Funding Sources (Archive)
CSPI is primarily funded by the 900,000 subscribers to its
Nutrition Action Healthletter and individual donors.
Private foundation grants make up approximately 5% to
10% of CSPI's annual revenue of $17 million. Nutrition
Action Healthletter accepts no advertising, and CSPI
accepts no corporate funds or government grants.
CSPI's audited financial statements and its IRS Form 990, both of which
conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, are available for
inspection. CSPI is governed by a volunteer board of directors operating
under its articles of incorporation and bylaws. CSPI also maintains a strict
conflict of interest policy for its staff and board members. CSPI's mission
statement and original IRS application for exemption (Form 1024) are
provided for your information. CSPI extends its sincere gratitude to those
foundations and to the thousands of individuals who provide support for its
advocacy programs.
