In 2023, more than 40% of CEPS's net revenue came from grants from and services provided to European Union institutions. 17.3% came from corporate and institutional membership fees. In 2015, 23% of CEPS's budget came from collaborative European research projects, in which academics Diane Stone and Stella Ladi note it often played the role of communicating the project results. Writing in 2000, Philippa Sherrington noted that CEPS's corporate membership was then its largest source of income, with "its promotional literature [stressing] the importance of this constituency".
