De sentrale funksjonene i Cochrane-samarbeidet finansieres med abonnementsinntekter fra the Cochrane Library . De enkelte enhetene i organisasjonen har en lang rekke ulike finansieringskilder, både offentlige og private. De må imidlertid følge organisasjonens felles retningslinjer, som setter visse begrensninger med hensyn til å benytte sponsorer fra industrien. Spørsmål som gjelder finansiering rettes til organisasjonens ”Chief Executive Officer” . .
