Environmental Working Group - Finances and Funding

Finances and Funding

For Fiscal Year ending December 2006, EWG raised nearly $3.6 million and spent $3.2 million. Over 84 cents out of every dollar go towards EWG's actual programs. EWG's IRS Form 990 is available on GuideStar. As of March 2008, EWG reports 30 staff members with its president Ken Cook earning $192K per year in 2006.

Most (78 percent) of the funding comes from foundations, and a partial list of 25 major funders is available on the organization's website. Eighteen percent of the budget comes from individuals, with the rest stemming from interest, small sales, and consulting for other organizations.
