Spending on declared projects (IATI)
Only the projects the organisation publishes on IATI: usually a fraction of its total spending (median 14% in our checks).
Publishes on IATI the grants of other foundations: those projects are not its own and are not in its accounts.
Data to be checked. Some figures on this page show inconsistencies, almost always due to filing or transcription errors in the source:
- The founding year given by some sources is inconsistent with the official registration: we show “active since at least”.
