The Center for Economic and Policy Research has an excellent track record for efficient use of donor funds. According to a June 2008 in-house analysis of the 25 most-cited think tanks in the nation, CEPR was again the most cost-effective, ranking first in media citations per budget dollar for the fourth year in a row. It also ranked first in web traffic per budget dollar. This study is updated each fall, when FAIR rankings of the top 25 most-cited think tanks in the nation are released.
In February 2009, for the third year in a row, Charity Navigator awarded CEPR their four-star rating for sound fiscal management. Charity Navigator is the largest independent nonprofit evaluator in the United States, and fewer than 11% of the charities they have evaluated have earned this rating for three consecutive years.
The Center for Economic and Policy Research respects the privacy of our donors. We do not sell, share, or exchange any of our donors' personal or contact information with anyone else, nor do we send mailings on behalf of other organizations.
