You can join these people and organisations who are helping to make good ideas matter by donating or by contacting us on 02 9043 6815. As a non-profit organisation with low overheads the resources we receive are put straight to work on researching great ideas and injecting them into the public debates that will shape the future of our society, environment and economy. All donations to our research fund are tax-deductible.
A note on our funding policy: donations and sponsorship do not confer editorial control over CPD’s research, and donors and sponsors do not necessarily endorse CPD publications or research findings. Read more on CPD’s Funding Policy here.
In the past two years, CPD has also completed research projects commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Farming and Fisheries, the Public Service Association of NSW and the Building the Education Revolution Implementation Task Force (BERIT).
