The US/ICOMOS International Intern Exchange Program is funded by a variety sources. Each of the host organizations in the U.S. contributed funds that cover a substantial portion of the costs for interns from overseas. Grants from private foundations and individual donors supported the internships for U.S. preservationists traveling overseas, with additional support from some of the overseas host organizations. The 2005 overseas internships were supported by the Dorothy-Ann Foundation, Marpat Foundation, Keepers Fund for Historic Preservation, Samuel H. Kress Foundation, Trust for Mutual Understanding, and contributions from numerous individuals.
