Donations to Canadian nonprofits are not required to be reported by either donor or donee. Oddly, one of the Ethical Oil Institute's first actions, even before public fundraising began, was to help sponsor a charity golf tournament in Calgary.
In an interview with the ''Hill Times'' (June 27, 2011), [[Alykhan Velshi|Velshi]] said that [[Ezra Levant|Levant]] "offered some of the $20,000 he won from a National Business Book Award for Ethical Oil to pay for the project’s start-up costs." In the same interview, [[Velshi]] said he had "no plans for a corporate membership category". However in a ''Guardian'' interview published the following day (June 28, 2011) [[Velshi]] clarified that "if offered, he wouldn’t refuse Canadian corporate donations". In an August 2011 interview with the Huffington Post, [[Velshi]] refused to say whether EOI had actually taken Canadian corporate contributions.
