Contents 1 Political stance 2 Research and publications 2.1 The Local Government Performance Index 3 Funding 4 References 5 External links Political stance The Frontier Centre describes itself as a non-ideological think tank, founded to undertake research and education projects in support of economic growth and social outcomes that enhance quality of life. Despite this, the group 's views have been interpreted by some as classically liberal, right - libertarian, or conservative. Research and publications The local government performance Index `` The Local Government Performance Index ( LGPI ) aims to make data on the performance of Canada 's municipalities available in one, easily accessible location so that members of the public, media, and government can better understand how municipalities are performing in comparison to each other. '' The hope of the LGPI is that this ease of access to data will help everyone involved in local government to identify best practices and areas for improvement in both actual performance and the way performance is reported on. Funding The Frontier Centre maintains its independence through having no government funding, a funding base that is diversified across industries and charities, and a ' Firewall ' between its Board of Directors which forbids any direct Board involvement or influence in the Centre 's education efforts. Funding comes from private charitable foundations ( 63 % ), businesses ( 18 % ), individuals ( 18 % ), and by events ( 1 % ).
