It does so by providing research grants, teaching fellowships and scholarship support, as well as supporting graduate education programs at CERGE-EI and similar institutions. The CERGE-EI Foundation is a legally registered US IRS 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and its IRS 990 is available at www.guidestar.org.
