Where Your Money Goes

Financial stewardship is key to achieving our conservation and fundraising goals, and fulfilling donor expectations. We therefore ensure we have:
  • a strong internal control environment;
  • effective governance over all operations; and
  • an annual independent audit of our financial records.
In addition to producing our annual report, we provide detailed stewardship reports to all our major donors that describe how their money was spent and the conservation gains that were achieved with these funds.

In the year ended June 30, 2012, we raised $23.7 million and invested $17.5 million in our conservation work.

Our expenditure on fundraising was slightly higher than the prior year (23% of our total revenue, an increase of 2%) largely as a result of investing in our first annual Panda Ball, a major fundraising and profile-raising event. Investing in our first gala was an important and successful organizational decision—one that enabled us to bring profile to environmental leaders, at a time when that leadership was most needed, and that sparked meaningful philanthropic relationships. As with our conservation work, WWF approaches fundraising with a long view, building the required foundation for the transformative work ahead.
