Overview

Mission

Founded as a 501 (c) (3) in april, 2024, cipo inc is an independent non- profit think tank focused on advancing climate action, international cooperation, and promoting better global governance. Our organization conducts evidence-based research, and produces knowledge and data to support the development of science-based public policies. Our focus covers key areas such as climate change (including just transition, environmental protection, and sustainable development), social justice (encompassing human rights, gender equality, and racial equity), and global governance (involving international cooperation, peace and security, and international trade). The organization also promotes dialogue and coordination between multiple actors and supports strategic advocacy to influence public policies, connecting the local to the global.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
