ACP in numbers

A brief overview

In each of our areas of work, ACP invests in people. Each number represents a step toward our goal of making a lasting and holistic difference in people's lives.

LEAN ADMINISTRATION

Thanks to lean administration, we can keep the internal share of each donation franc low. With a total of 9% in 2023, 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! The decline in donations in 2023 can be explained by the extraordinarily high level of donations in 2022 due to the start of the war in Ukraine.

DONATIONS BEYOND ACCOUNTING

We received donations in kind with an estimated value of CHF 7'757’000 in 2023. We cannot book the equivalent value of these relief goods as donations. If this were possible, our fundraising and administration expenses in 2023 would even be a super-slim 5.1 %.
