Think Tanks and Corporate Money Looking at the financial situation of think tanks, different funding patterns can be found. While financial contributions from foundations play an important role especially for conservative think tanks, also contributions from governments are made to certain institutions. Yet one of the most important funding sources are corporate donors and individual contributors. Although the extent to which - in most cases conservative - think tanks rely on corporate funding varies, from the US$ 158 million spent by the top 20 conservative think tanks, more than half of it was contributed by corporations or businessmen. browse Report: Fact and opinion construction(think tanks)     Think Tanks  ... -3   Influence on Policy Making by Fact Construction -2   War on Anti-Poverty Programs -1   Abolition of Resale Price Maintenance 0   Think Tanks and Corporate Money +1   History of Corporate Funding of Conservative Think Tanks +2   Examples of Mainly Corporate Funded Think Tanks: Brookings Institution +3   Examples of Mainly Corporate Funded Think Tanks: Cato Institute      ...
