Milieudefensie

Dutch association for the protection ("defence") of the environment

Milieudefensie was founded in 1971 by a group of Dutch scientists concerned about environmental pollution. In 1972 Milieudefensie developed into a grassroots organisation and was registred as an association (vereniging). Milieudefensie became the Dutch member organisation of Friends of the Earth International that was founded as a network in 1972. Milieudefensie aims to contribute to solving and preventing environmental problems, and pursues a sustainable society at the global, national, regional and local level, in the interest of the environment and the landscape for current and future generations. We identify environmental problems; promote solutions through advocacy campaigns involving the public; aspire a fairer division of natural livelihood resources; aim at structural policy changes within governments and the corporate sector.

Public funds 61% (€11.3M) · Other income 39%

Public funds: public funding (national, local and EU) declared by the organisation to the EU Transparency Register, which only itemised it until 2020. The budget is the one declared by the organisation.

European Union funding

Amounts committed each year by the European Commission to the organisation (contracts and grants), from the EU Financial Transparency System. A commitment often covers several project years and, in consortia, may include shares of other partners. They are not income for the year and should not be compared directly with the accounts.

Public funds from donor governments

Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.

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).
