Cornell University Library (CUL), theSimons Foundation, and a global collective of institutional members support arXiv financially. The financial model for 2013-2017 entails three sources of revenues:

* CUL provides a cash subsidy of $75,000 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 $50,000 per year in recognition of CUL'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 $1,500-$3,000. Cornell's goal is to raise $300,000 per year through membership fees generated by approximately *170* institutions. Discounts for members paying through consortial agreements will be provided. 

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the following institutions for the arXiv membership model and their intentions for a five-year pledge, 2013-2017.  According to the [arXiv's Principles|https://confluence.cornell.edu/download/attachments/127116484/arXivPrinciplesMarch12.pdf?version=5&modificationDate=1349107541000], membership in arXiv and representation on the MAB is reserved for libraries, research institutions, laboratories, and foundations that contribute to the financial support of the service. Please see the [arXiv Sustainability Initiative Website|http://arxiv.org/help/support] for information about the arXiv governance and business model.
