Funding for these projects was mainly generated by Glenn Mullin from friends and students while on lecture tours in the US, Canada and Europe, as well as from grant applications submitted by Glenn. Any significant donation or grant was processed through either the Tibet Fund in NY (courtesy of the Tibet Fund Director, Mr. Rinchen Dharlo), or through the America Mongolia Friendship Society in Atlanta (courtesy of Society director Miss Tenzin Lhamo). The funding for three of the projects came from grants awarded by the Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation; the funding for one of the projects was awarded by the Canada Fund.
