The Tibet Fund receives funding from foundations, corporations and numerous individuals. The congressionally mandated Humanitarian Assistance Grant from the US State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration and the Tibetan Scholarship Program from the Fulbright Program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs are important sources of funding for The Tibet Fund.

The Tibet Fund has one of the lowest operating budgets among non-profit organizations at a mere 6% of the total budget. This has been verified by the Washington, DC accounting firm of Gold, Leins and Adoff, which conducts annual audits of The Tibet Fund budget. For more information, see our Annual Reports page.
