how we are funded
SPUN is primarily supported through grants and donations.
Earned income serves as a complementary funding source. This approach ensures financial sustainability while maintaining our commitment to independent, science-based research and analysis. We value partnership and dialogue with all our funders, while maintaining full independence in our research methodology, datasets, and conclusions.
Earned Income
