CU), the Simons Foundation, and a global collective of institutional members support arXiv financially. The financial model for 2013-2017 entails three sources of revenues:
- CUL CU provides a cash subsidy of $170,000 per year in support of arXiv's operational costs and an in-kind contribution of all indirect costs, which currently represents 37% of total operating expenses.
- The Simons Foundation contributes $100,000 per year in recognition of CULCU's stewardship of arXiv. In addition, every year, the Foundation matches $300,000 of the funds generated through arXiv's membership fees.
- Each member institution pledges a five-year funding commitment to support arXiv. Based on institutional usage ranking, the annual fees are set in four tiers from $1,000-$4,400. Cornell's goal is to raise at least $504,000 per year through membership fees generated by approximately 220 institutions. Discounts for members paying through consortial agreements will be provided.
