Financial Information

Malteser International uses donations and all funds entrusted to it economically, efficiently, and in a goal-oriented manner. Our independently audited financial statements have consistently shown that administration and management costs remain within an objectively appropriate limit. In line with our commitment to transparency, every year, we give account about our finances, our donors and how and where donations are utilised. These details are published in our annual reports as well as on our website.

Funding sources: These were our supporters in 2022

In this overview, we present the financial report of Malteser International Europe as a division of Malteser Hilfsdienst e. V. as of December 31, 2022. Malteser International's total revenue in 2022 was around € 95.4 million (previous year: € 86.9 million). Public sector grants amounted to € 66.4 million. The majority of this was received from the German government, at € 61.7 million, € 3.5 million from the European Union, € 670 thousand from the United Nations and around € 530 thousand from the USA.

Projects initiated in the current year will be continued in the following years, following a sustainable approach. Designated donations and grants that could not be expended in the fiscal year will be recorded as liabilities. They will be available again in the following year and will be invested in relevant projects.

We received around € 18.4 million via donations and the international Order of Malta network. Our coalitions Aktion Deutschland Hilft (€ 9.6 million ) and Nachbar in Not (€ 50.7 thousand) helped us raise an additional € 9.6 million.

Around € 972 thousand came from foundations, companies and other NGOs.

Our total expenditure: High project spending with low administrative costs

The total amount implemented in 2022 was € 87.6 million. The share of project expenditure amounted to € 82.4 million. Adjustments of € 1.25 million were made to project contracts. Such reductions in project contracts are necessary if not all project components can be implemented due to existing risks (war, uprisings, epidemics, etc.).

Malteser International uses all entrusted funds economically, efficiently and in a goal-oriented manner to fulfill its tasks. At around € 4 million, management and administrative expenses were again at the level of the previous year.

2022 Program overview

In 2022, we were able to reach people in need in 36 countries with our aid. Regionally, the focus of our work was on Africa (€ 25.5 million project volume), the Middle East (€ 19.1 million project volume), Asia (€ 15.8 million project volume), Europe (€ 15.7 million project volume) and the Americas (€ 3.9 million project volume).

In terms of content, our work continued to focus on health, accounting for around 40.4 percent of the total volume. Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects accounted for around 15 percent of total volume in 2022.

>> AUDITOR'S REPORT

Malteser International's total revenue of € 91.1 million in 2021 decreased by 13.4 percent compared to the previous year (€ 105.2 million). This was largely due to the conclusion of a four-year contract to build and strengthen health structures and local agriculture in Lebanon, which was already recorded in 2020 at € 28.4 million.

Revenues from public sector grants amounted to 73 million (88.2 million in 2020), including € 62.3 million from the German government, 5.8 € million from the European Union, € 3.1 million from the USA and around € 1.6 million from the United Nations.

Around € 9.5 million came from individual donors and the international Order of Malta network as well as other revenue such as adjustments of partner contracts, sales revenues, exchange gains, income from the release of provisions. Our coalitions helped us raise € 4.3 million, thanks in large part to the support of Aktion Deutschland Hilft - Germany's Relief Coalition. We received a sum of € 4.3 million through funding from foundations and other non-governmental organizations.

Revenue and project volume development

In 2021, we spent a total of € 87.4 million on our program activities. Funds not applied in a given fiscal year are transferred to liabilities and earmarked for projects in the following year. Surpluses were transferred to the reserves. Contract adjustments amounted to reductions in project funding totaling € 2.7 million. These adjustments to protect contracts are necessary, if, for example, project components of the project cannot be implemented due to risks such as war, insurgency or epidemics. Malteser International uses all entrusted funds economically, efficiently and in a goal-oriented manner to fulfill its tasks while working to ensure that administration and management costs remain proportional to the project expenses. At around € 3.7 million, management and administrative costs were slightly below the level of the previous year.

(Order of Malta Worldwide Relief Malteser International Americas Inc.) with headquarters in New York, and Malteser International Europe. Malteser International Europe is a legally dependent division of Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V. with its own financial statement.
