HOW THE IFRC IS FUNDED
In 2022, the IFRC released its first dedicated 
report on regular resources. It includes details 
on funding, expenditure and examples of use, as 
well as case studies that go into further detail 
on the impact of regular resources on specific 
responses and the functions they support. 
The IFRC’s work to support vulnerable commu-
nities is dependent on financial support from 
partners. The IFRC seeks to secure income 
that is predictable and flexible to best serve its 
network. It seeks to strengthen existing partner-
ships and engage with new partners.
The IFRC receives funds through:
Statutory contributions:
Each member 
National Society provides an annual contribution 
to the IFRC determined by a formula approved 
by the General Assembly. The contribution of 
each National Society varies, depending on 
its income and the UN quota for that country. 
In 2022, a total of 33.1 million Swiss francs 
were contributed in statutory contributions by 
National Societies.
Voluntary funding:
Voluntary contributions 
and donations represent the largest source of 
income to the IFRC, although the amount varies 
annually. In 2022, 813.2 million Swiss francs was 
received; of this, 25.1 million Swiss francs was 
unrestricted, which allows the IFRC the greatest 
flexibility to pursue its objectives.
In addition, the European Commission funded 
the European Social Safety Net (ESSN) in Türkiye 
with 236.3 million Swiss francs during 2022.
