Reut's current focus areas are National Security and Top15: Socio-Economics.[clarification needed] They are described as "very influential and highly respected" by Ido Aharoni, spokesman to former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who noted that virtually every key ministry in the government has utilized Reut’s services.

Reut is supported by private donors and does not accept any contribution that exceeds 15% of its yearly budget, nor any donations from government agencies (Israeli or foreign).
