Methodology: Grant data is from the 4th edition of Who Gets Grants, Who Gives Grants (1977) covering 800 large foundations from 1994-5. All groups received additional funds from individuals as well as from smaller foundations. Intercollegiate Studies Institute totals include the Madison Center for Educational Affairs, which merged with ISI in 1995. Total income data is from The Right Guide, 3rd Edition (1977) and Third Millenium budget documents.

*The College Republicans, as a partisan organization, do not receive any foundation grants.

**Funding received by a parent group; some may be for campus wing (Eagle Forum Collegians, Accuracy in Academia)
