Abstract
This article fills a need in the entrepreneurship literature by investigating the finances of entrepreneurship centers throughout the world. Entrepreneurship center directors were surveyed (249 US and 111 Global) about the various facets of their center's finances. We received 174 responses for a 49% response rate (US 49%, international 49%). We explore the financing of entrepreneurship centers and the relationship between US and international centers. The results of this research project can be used as a benchmark for entrepreneurship center directors in understanding the financial challenges confronting their centers.
