Eurasia Foundation currently receives most of its funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through a multi-year core grant. The Foundation also receives generous funding from other governmental, private and non-profit sources.
The Foundation implements rigorous financial and administrative controls and requires the same of grant recipients. An evaluation of a group of Foundation public policy grants conducted by the IRIS Center of the University of Maryland reported that: "Having a track record of participating in a Foundation grant program serves as credible evidence of soundness of the grantees' internal management, accounting and control procedures, which helps with getting grant awards from other donors."
The Foundation is expanding its programs and services while maintaining low general administrative costs.
