Donors and Philanthropic Partners

Our donors and philanthropic partners play a critical role in creating a fairer, safer, and healthier world, and we are immensely grateful to the more than 500,000 people and organizations who supported us during fiscal year 2026.

We are honored to acknowledge those who have taken a leadership role by giving $1,000 or more, including members of the President’s Circle, new members of the Legacy Society and charitable gift annuitants, and philanthropists and institutional funding partners providing project support. We thank you all for your generosity and for being part of a powerful community of consumer champions.

CR received over $120K in cy pres support in fiscal year 2026. CR strongly believes that funds from class action settlements should go to those affected. When that is not possible, CR has, for more than 25 years, used cy pres awards to protect consumers and champion their interests.
