Our Funding
Financial information 2021
Our income remained stable in 2021 compared to recent years, although we saw a slight decrease compared to 2020.
We continued to maintain a good balance between funding sources, with EU funding representing 40% of our income. We succeeded to significantly increase the proportion of our income from charitable foundations.
Following an overhaul of our salary system to a new competency-based model, the proportion of our expenses for salaries went up.
A total of 22 funders together with our member groups have contributed to our income. We avoided, therefore, major dependencies on too few funding sources. The vast majority of our funders have continued to support our work and we expect ongoing cooperation in 2022 as well.
