Funding for AMANDA

AMANDA is funded principally by the National Science Foundation . As the main funding agency for all Antarctic science, the NSF is also making a significant outlay for renovating the South Pole station and other ancillary equipment, such as the LC-130 Hercules aircraft used to transport people and equipment in and out of the South Pole. The NSF's Office of Polar Programs coordinates these activities.

You can find a document detailing the spending for the South Pole station renovation and ancillary equipment here.
