Total income from individuals in 2017 was €8.8 million, up €0.1 million compared with the previous year. The income realization was 9 per cent, or €0.8 million, below the budget for 2017, which we now regard as too ambitious.

Income from governments in 2017 was €13.0 million.
Income from lotteries
Income from the National Postcode Lottery increased by a staggering €2.9 million in 2017 compared to the previous year, which is related to long-term grants that were awarded to our Can’t Wait to Learn and TeamUp programmes.
Income from other organisations
Income from other organisations more than doubled year-on-year. In 2017, our single largest donor is the IKEA Foundation, which generously continues to contribute to our programmes for multiple years in multiple countries.
Developments in Expenses
Total expenses in 2017 were €38.2 million, which is deliberately higher than total income, resulting in a deficit of €2.1 million for the year.
