UNESCO gets its funding from contributions by member states, voluntary contributions, fundraising, and other, smaller sources of funding. Funding specifically for the conservation of World Heritage sites includes the World Heritage Fund, composed of obligatory contributions from member countries and voluntary contributions, as well as publications and funds-in-trust donated by countries that have particular goals in mind.
