WADA’s funding is sourced equally from the Olympic Movement (IOC) and governments of the world
Once governments make their contributions, the IOC matches dollar for dollar

6. What’s being done to secure extra funding…
End-2013: IOC-WADA initiated Anti-Doping Research Fund
The IOC pledged to match up to $10 million towards athlete-centred anti-doping research
Governments contributed $6 million, which the IOC matched for a total of $12 million, which has been put towards innovative science and social science research
End-2015, WADA initiated Investigations Fund
Following the IC Report, Sir Craig Reedie wrote to governments to ask for additional contributions toward further investigations
This has realized approximately $650,000 from Governments, which the IOC will be asked to match

7. What’s being done to secure extra funding…(cont.)
Early 2016: Sir Craig Reedie called on sponsors and broadcasters to fund clean sport
Sport market consists of sponsorships, gate revenues, media rights (which includes broadcast television) and merchandising
Conservative 2015 estimate places value at $145 billion*
Broadcasters: 0.5% tariff on the estimated $35 billion* annual media rights figure would put $175 million more in WADA’s coffers 
Sponsors: Organizations that sponsor sanctioned athletes could attribute the money to the anti-doping movement instead

8. What’s being done to secure extra funding… (cont.)
We are also exploring creation of a private charitable foundation
Dedicated to supporting anti-doping on a global scale
Grants could finance areas such as:
Scientific research
Values-based education
Intelligence and Investigations
