Since 1968, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars has been a model for the successful implementation of a public/private partnership. As the official memorial to President Wilson, Congress supports the Wilson Center through an annual appropriation; however, 70 percent of the annual operating budget must be raised from private sources to ensure the Center's continued role in "the dialogue of democracy."
WilsonAlliances, the Center's corporate membership program, provides a unique way for the business community to interact with the policy community at the Wilson Center.
Nearly 150 individual members of the Wilson Council, the Center's private-sector advisory board, provide leadership and funding to further the Center's mission.
