Sources of Financing

The CASE Foundation raises funds for its statutory activities through two types of financing mechanisms:

1. Project-based funding - these are funds obtained by CASE for the implementation of specific projects (both non-profit and for-profit) as described earlier in the Annual Report. These funds constituted the majority of CASE's total revenue (90%) and amounted to PLN 5,003,166.75 in 2009.

2. Institutional support - these are general donations granted to CASE by different institutions to be used according to CASE statutory goals subject to the discretion of CASE Management.  These funds totalled PLN 160,000.00 in 2009.

Project-based funding and institutional support together constituted revenue for statutory activities that totalled PLN 5,163,166.75 in 2009.  These funds were obtained from the following sources (as a % of the total).  

European Commission funding provided the greatest portion of revenue as in the previous years.  In contrast to 2008, private resources ranked second over public funds in 2009 constituting 24% of the funding received for statutory activities (see the figure below).  While the share of private funds more than doubled from 2009, the share of funding from international organizations rose from less than one percent to representing close to 11% of revenue in 2009.

The importance of public funding decreased substantially in 2009, declining by 14 percentage points to represent just 5.79% of the revenue for statutory activity.  Likewise, the contribution of NGO sources also experienced a decline.
