Donors

TIPS operated as a project within the IDRC's Johannesburg Office from 1996 until it became a not-for-profit company in 2001. The organisation continues to receive and actively seek support from a number of donors operating in South Africa and the region to be able to diversify our funding sources and, more importantly, allow us to expand our public-good activities in areas of relevance to policy-makers in the region.

TIPS is immensely grateful for its donors' generous support. Continued donor assistance highlights the organisation's success in becoming a mature research leader that is increasingly responsive to the local policy environment while maintaining an overt and strong interest in public policy in the areas associated with developing country economic policy.
