Through the generous support of corporations and individuals, Resources for the Future is able to fulfill its mission to do scholarly research and policy analyses on the most important energy, environmental and natural resource issues society faces. The unrestricted gifts and grants we receive help us maintain our ability to do scrupulously independent work, as well as our reputation as the only objective source for unbiased information on often difficult and divisive issues.

Fall 2006 RFF Council Meeting
2006 Council Meeting:
 Assessing China's Economic, Energy, and Resource Environment


The RFF Council, established in 1991, recognizes those corporations and individuals that provide significant annual financial support to the institution. Corporations give a minimum of $25,000 annually and individuals, $5,000 annually. In 2003, Council members provided over $1.1 million to RFF to help ensure that we continue to influence the development of sound public policies by injecting new knowledge and reason into the political debate.

In addition to receiving complimentary copies of all RFF publications and invitations to events, Council members are encouraged to meet informally with RFF staff, to serve on program advisory committees, and to participate, in Washington and other cities, in small off-the-record dialogues on global climate change, electric utility restructuring, sustainable forestry, air quality, environmental risk assessment, and many other issues.
