LEAN ADMINISTRATION

Thanks to lean administration, we can keep the internal share of each donation franc low. With a total of 10% in 2024, we are below the percentages that are common in similar organizations.

GENEROSITY MAKES HELP POSSIBLE

Once again this year, thousands of people have decided to entrust ACP Switzerland with their donation. This trust honors and obliges us!

DONATIONS BEYOND ACCOUNTING

We received donations in kind with an estimated value of CHF 6'492'000 in 2024. We cannot book the equivalent value of these relief goods as donations. If this were possible, our fundraising and administration expenses in 2024 would even be a super-slim 6.3 %.
