The Ethics Institute is financially self-sustaining, and operates simultaneously as a public institute and as a social enterprise.

We are always looking for funding from large organisations to support our specific thought leadership projects, including Ethics Handbooks, Research Reports and other innovative ethics interventions. Please email Celia Lourens celia@tei.org.za to learn more about upcoming projects and funding opportunities.
We are eager to grow our number of Sponsor organisations. Please email info@tei.org.za to find out more about the opportunities and terms of Sponsorship relationship with The Ethics Institute.
The Ethics Institute, previously known as EthicsSA, was originally created in 2000 with strong financial support from the Merck Foundation.
In the former role, TEI produces freely-available research and thought-leading publications, contributes to national discourse and policy making, and attracts the support of individual Supporters and organisational Sponsors. In the latter role, we render a wide array of services to paying clients, and secure funding from large organisations for specific projects.
In other words, the logic of TEI’s funding model is that income generation is not an end in itself. Any profit made is reinvested in the capacity to undertake more research and to render more services, in pursuit of our vision of building an ethically responsible society. We are on a trajectory that requires ongoing innovation to meet the needs of our target organisations and society at large – and our diversified funding model contributes to the sustainability of this trajectory.
