TIN provides information and research material to anyone with an interest in Tibet irrespective of their opinions, and is not affiliated to governments or any other organisations. TIN believes that peaceful, long-lasting solutions to Tibet's problems will not be found unless those with an interest in Tibet, and particularly those with an influence over Tibet's future, have access to the facts and are aware of the genuine concerns of the Tibetan people. This is why we undertake the extremely difficult and complex task of gathering information from and about Tibet, where the flow of information is strictly controlled. Independence and objectivity are essential to this work, and have made us the most trusted source of balanced, fact-based information on Tibet today. TIN researchers and translators process and analyse information from a wide range of official and unofficial sources, including Chinese and Tibetan documents, TIN field interviews, overseas press reports and observations from foreign visitors.
TIN relies entirely on donations and grants from trusts, foundations and benevolent individuals.
We do not accept funding from any source which might compromise our independence. TIN does not sell, exchange or give its mailing lists to any other organisation. Perhaps you can help to widen our range of contacts or find new sources of funding. If you think you can help, please get in touch .
