Since 2014 ISMIP has been able to organize annual workshops thanks to the support of the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) project of the World Climate Research Program. 

The Heising-Simons Foundation is generously providing funding to support core ISMIP7 tasks and staff (blue, at left). These staff (usually Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA), students and research assistant (RA) or faculty) are located at institutions associated with ISMIP7 leadership (steering committee or focus group lead) primarily in the USA (University at Buffalo, Dartmouth College, University of Idaho, Pennsylvania State University) but also in the UK (University of Edinburgh, University of Liverpool, University of Reading, Northumbria University), Belgium (University of Liege) and Norway (Norwegian Research Center). 

ISMIP7 is only possible when research groups run the experimental protocol (established through ISMIP7 core activities above).  At present, 37 modeling groups (blue dots at left) have expressed their interest in running the ISMIP7 protocol and contributing essential simulations to the ISMIP7 ensemble.  These individual simulations are the members of the ensemble, on which the consensus projections of ice sheet change are based.  However, at present, almost none of these groups have dedicated funding to participate in ISMIP7 and their participation is therefore uncertain.

ISMIP7 continues to seek funding to support the participation of these modeling groups.
