Noted: Institutions receive five stars for being entirely transparent about their funding. Five-star institutions make it easy for an engaged citizen to find out who supports their work, and any of their specific projects. They are role models in the field. In practice institutions can do this by citing its supporters; providing funding amounts; highlighting project specific with core funding, ideally indicating project duration; making this information accessible, just a few clicks from the homepage.
