    Funding

    Hudson Institute is funded by donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations.WEB, Hudson Institute,weblink 2023-10-21, InfluenceWatch, en-US, Notable funders of the Institute include the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, the Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.As of 2021, the organization reported revenue of over $37m with under $20m in expenses and an endowment of $81m. Hudson Institute has accepted $7.9m from Donors Trust. It has received $25,000 from Exxon Mobil since 1998 and less than $100,000 from Koch family foundations, both of which actively minimize climate change.WEB, Fisher, Michael, Hudson Institute,weblink 2021-09-19, DeSmog, en-US, The New York Times commented on Dennis Avery's attacks on organic farming: "The attack on organic food by a well-financed research organization suggests that, though organic food accounts for only 1 percent of food sales in the United States, the conventional food industry is worried".Marian Burros, "Eating Well; Anti-Organic, And Flawed", The New York Times, accessed December 14, 2007.Another employee of the institute, Michael Fumento, was revealed to have received funding from Monsanto for his 1999 book Bio-Evolution. Monsanto's spokesman said: "It's our practice, that if we're dealing with an organization like this, that any funds we're giving should be unrestricted." Hudson's CEO and President Kenneth R. Weinstein told BusinessWeek that he was uncertain if the payment should have been disclosed. "That's a good question, period," he said.The New York Times suggested Huntington Ingalls Industries had used the Hudson Institute to enhance the company's argument for more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, at a cost of US$11 billion each. The Times alleged that a former naval officer was paid by Hudson to publish an analysis endorsing more funding. The report was delivered to the House Armed Services subcommittee without disclosing that Huntington Ingalls had paid for part of the report. Hudson acknowledged the misconduct, describing it as a "mistake".The institute, which publishes frequent reports concerning China, has received funding from the Taiwanese government as have other prominent think tanks.WEB, Clifton, Eli, 2020-06-17, Taiwan Funding of Think Tanks: Omnipresent and Rarely Disclosed,weblink 2021-11-19, The American Prospect, en-us,
