Annual Accounts 2024

We have a successful year behind us, especially in terms of project and programme financing. As in previous years, we were able to establish new partnerships with foundations and government institutions and achieve growth of 13 percent in this area. In a highly competitive environment, however, the volume of donations from mailings was slightly below average. This is an aspect we will have to focus on more closely in the future.

We would like to thank our long-standing and loyal donors, municipalities and cantons, companies and foundations for their reliable contributions. Their generous support, solidarity and trust in the work we do together with our partner organisations on the ground are invaluable to us.

Overall, SWISSAID implemented sustainable self-help projects worth a total of around 18.6 million Swiss francs with an international team on three different continents. We invested 2.4 million Swiss francs in awareness-raising and information work in Switzerland. As a proportion of our operating expenses, 83 percent of our funds went to programme work, 4 percent to administration and 13 percent to fundraising.

Around 67 percent of SWISSAID’s activities are financed by donations and project contributions from private individuals and institutions, while just under 22 per cent of the funding comes from the SDC programme contribution.

These annual accounts for 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the Swiss GAAP FER and ZEWO standards. They were reviewed by the auditors Von Graffenried AG Treuhand in the framework of an annual audit, and found to be correct.
