Who Funds PERC

PERC (the Property and Environment Research Center) is a nationally recognized think tank focusing on market solutions to environmental problems. Founded in 1980, PERC is one of the pioneers of free market environmentalism.

We believe environmental quality can be achieved by managing our resources based on property rights, private initiative and voluntary activity. Free market environmentalism offers a genuine alternative to excessive government control and regulation.

PERC is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We rely entirely on contributions from foundations, corporations and private individuals. Currently, 90 percent of our funding comes from foundations, 8 percent from individuals and miscellaneous sources and 2 percent from corporations. All contributions to PERC are tax-deductible.
