Our Funding
Financial information 2020
We were able to increase our income slightly in 2020, compared to the year before, in spite of the major challenges that the year held.
In 2020 we experienced changes in some of our traditional funders’ priorities, and increased competition for EU and governmental grants.
We have continued to maintain a good balance between funding sources, with EU funding representing 40% of our income. A total of 18 funders together with our members 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 this cooperation to go on in 2021 as well.
