Funding sources: These were our supporters in 2025
Malteser International Europe’s total income amounted to € 57.9 million in 2025 (previous year: € 105.8 million). In 2025 less donor contracts were signed, resulting in this 45 percent decline in revenue compared to the previous year. For projects that extend beyond the current financial year, earmarked donations and contributions that have not been spent are allocated to liabilities. In 2025, released liabilities from grants received in prior years (the majority of which stem from funding by the GFFO and BMZ) amounted to € 35.7 million.
Public grants amounted to € 20.9 million (previous year: € 48.5 million). The majority of this was received from the European Union, € 13.0 million (previous year: € 6.8 million), the German government, at € 6.0 million (previous year: € 40.5 million), and € 1.7 million (previous year: € 1.0 million) from the United Nations.
Our coalition Aktion Deutschland Hilft helped us raise an additional € 20.9 million (previous year: € 28.8 million). We received € 15.4 million (previous year: € 20.9 million) via donations and the international Order of Malta network.
Around € 0.7 million (previous year: € 7.6 million) came from foundations and other NGOs.

At around € 7.9 million, further expenses (management and administrative costs: € 5.9 million, press and public relations: 1.1 million, quality and security: 0.9 million) account for around 8.5 percent of total expenditure. Malteser International Germany uses all entrusted funds sparingly, efficiently, and purposefully to fulfill its tasks.

In 2025, project reductions amounted to € 1.7 million. Reductions occur when funds are transferred back to the donor. This is often the case when projects are terminated early. Total expenditures thus amounted to € 94.0 million.
