I guess it depends on your definition of "major".  From section 5.1 of ICANN's draft FY11 budget (http://www.icann.org/en/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy11-17may10-en.pdf if you care):

Registry             $32,647,000 
Registrar            $29,159,000 
RIR                     $823,000 
ccTLD                 $1,600,000 
IDN ccTLD               $780,000 
Meeting Sponsorships    $500,000
Total                $65,509,000

So the RIRs contribute 1.25% of ICANN's budget.
