Dear OTT Community,
The State of the Sector 2025 report is almost here!
This year’s edition captures the realities of think tanks worldwide: how organisations are navigating polarisation, adapting to shifts in funding, experimenting with AI, and rethinking inclusion.
We’ll be unpacking the findings during a live conversation on 23 September, with a panel of funders bringing global and regional perspectives:
OTT Talks Live: 23 September
Featuring:
- Diana Hollmann, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
- Chris Chibwana, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
- Enrique Mendizabal & Camila Ulloa Torres, OTT
This global snapshot wouldn’t be possible without our network of 25 regional partners who contributed insights and helped ensure that diverse voices are represented. Stay tuned for subregional blogs that share first-hand reflections on their own regions and political contexts—adding nuance behind the numbers.
The Open Think Tank Directory powers the State of the Sector 2025 by providing the survey sample of think tanks across the globe. Make sure your organisation is part of this global community—join today to be visible to funders, researchers, and fellow think tanks.
You’ll get the report first on 17 September! Forward this newsletter to colleagues so they can join the mailing list and be part of the conversation.
