Carter Center programs are directed by resident experts, who design and implement activities in cooperation with Carter Center leadership, networks of world leaders, other nongovernmental organizations, and partners in the United States and abroad. Program directors have extensive experience in international affairs, public or government service, and/or academe. There are approximately 250 employees at the Atlanta headquarters and thousands more in field offices around the world. Headquarter's staff are all Emory University employees.
The Center is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, financed by private donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, and international development assistance agencies. Contributions by U.S. citizens and companies are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
