Financial transparency

The actions and programs of La Chaîne de l'Espoir depend entirely on the trust of its donors. We are therefore particularly demanding when it comes to transparency in the management of funds.

Transparent and demanding management

Each year, La Chaîne de l’Espoir publishes a full report on its activities in its Activity Report, and details the origin and use of its resources in its Financial Report.

In the interests of financial transparency, these documents are sent to donors and made accessible to them. Each year, La Chaîne de l’Espoir also publishesits full annual accounts and auditor’sreports on its website and on the Journal Officiel des Associations website.

The main sources of financing

Funds broken down by type of activity
according to origin

Funds raised from the general public, legacies and a portion of private corporate funds finance all our activities.
When earmarked for a specific project, funds from corporate and institutional partners are called “dedicated funds” and finance programs defined with the partner.

Volunteering, material donations and in-kind services are essential.

Volunteers make an essential contribution to our work, whether they are medical volunteers, host families, or volunteers at head office or in the regions. We also benefit from material donations (medical equipment in particular), and services in kind, which provide important support for our actions.
