- Charles Stewart Mott Foundation
- International Development Research Centre
- UN Millennium Campaign
- Sigrid Rausing Trust
- Rights & Democracy
- Development and Peace
- Canadian Council for International Cooperation

The following is a list of the grants the Halifax Initiative has received for both core work and special projects. Many of the grants cover one year or two, but few of the reporting periods correspond with an actual calendar year. Contributions are therefore reported according to the year in which they were made/received. This list does not include contributions of less than $1000.
