An average 80% of donations goes to support programme activities benefiting children and families in developing countries.
Trust and transparency is important to Plan. We are one of the few global organisations to publish combined worldwide financial statements that detail our fundraising and spending.
Plan raised US$595,000,000 in 2007 – a 10% increase on the previous year.
Plan spent US$572,000,000 in 2007. On a like-for-like basis, excluding last year’s one-off utilisation of reserves to help deliver programmes faster, expenditure increased by 6%.
Fundraising
More than 70% of Plan’s income comes from child sponsorship. This is a stable and predictable source of income, which means we can plan and carry out long-term development projects.
Plan also receives funds from other sources which make up an increasing proportion of our income. In 2007, 22% of Plan’s income came from grants.
