Core Funding

The budget for ICSU’s "central/core" functions is approximately 3 million € p.a., although this represents only a small fraction of the total financial investment in ICSU programmes and other activities. ICSU’s principal source of "central/core" income is Member subscriptions. The other major sources of income are grants from other organizations and Foundations. As well as supporting the Secretariat and the various Governance, Policy and Advisory Committees, this income is used to support the planning and implementation of new initiatives.

The General Assembly approves draft budgetary outlines for each ensuing triennium upon proposals received from the Executive Board,which is charged with finalizing the annual budgets. The Committee on Finance and Executive Board are also responsible for verifying the audited annual accounts of ICSU, which are then sent to all Members for approval. This requires an electronic General assembly each year.
