\u201cAs we reflect on another year of impactful initiatives and meaningful progress, I am humbled by our BP Fellows\u2019 and donors’ unwavering support and dedication. Your generosity fuels our mission to empower young people worldwide through Scouting, fostering leadership, resilience and community spirit. Year after year, we are making strides to build on the transparency and clarity of our reporting, and in this section of the annual report, we invite you to explore and understand how your donations are being taken care of to increase the impact of Scouting worldwide. Thank you for your trust, partnership, and belief in the transformative power of Scouting.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>

Our donors at a glance<\/h3><\/div>

We are incredibly grateful to all our BP Fellows and donors who either started, continued or increased their contributions to the Foundation in 2023. Thanks to the hard work of our Board, Fundraising Committees and staff team, we had a successful year, raising a total of USD 4.72 million in monetary donations and other income. This is a slight decrease from USD 5.2 million in 2022, which aligns with the global trends many charities experienced after the economic downturn in 2022.<\/p>\n

Since we started to implement our new Strategy, we have been segmenting our income per donor segment. Our Institutional Donors have contributed 34% of our total donation income, and the remaining 66% came from individual giving.<\/p>\n<\/div>
