Funding and donors
Since Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has no independent source of funds, all donations either in cash or in-kind must be accompanied by the cash needed to move, manage and monitor Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ food assistance. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's funding comes from:
Governments
Governments are the principal source of funding for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ; the organization receives no dues or portions of the UN assessed contributions. On average, over 60 governments underwrite the humanitarian and development projects of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. All government support is on an entirely voluntary basis.
Corporations
Through corporate-giving programmes, individual companies can make a vital contribution to fighting hunger. Corporate donations of cash, product or services can help free up scarce resources to help Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ feed more hungry people. In turn, corporations engage their employees, customers and other stakeholders in a vital, life-saving mission.
Recent donations from private and not-for-profit entities have included frontline support to several emergency operations; expertise to enhance Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's logistics and fundraising capacities; and critical cash for school feeding. Learn more
Individuals
Individuals can make a difference in the lives of the hungry. A personal donation can provide :
- Emergency food rations during a crisis
- Special food for hungry children in schools.
- Food incentives to encourage poor families to send their girls to school.
- Food as payment for people to rebuild schools, roads and other infrastructure in the wake of conflicts and natural disasters.
Individuals can also support Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's work in other ways.
