Yearly donations in EUR

The donations for 2006 were divided over projects (97.0%) and Max’s Magic Money Fund (3.0%), the flexible reserve that can be tapped by the projects that need it most. The donated amounts vary from € 130 to € 123,800 for the projects, and from € 12.50 to € 1000 for Max’s Magic Money Fund.

Dividing the donations between project donations and donations to Max’s Magic Money Fund, the following breakdown emerges:

Donations 2006	Project donations	Max Magic Money Fund	Total
Companies	€453.097	€ 9.996	€ 463.093
Private persons	€41.878	€ 5.304	€ 47.182
TOTAL	€ 494.975	€ 15.300	€ 510.275

The average business donation fell from € 7,908 to € 6,810. The average private donation dropped even further, from € 1,174 to € 463. An explanation for the decrease is the fact that Net4kids received two major donation commitments from businesses (CapGemini and Leaseplan) that have only partly been included in the donations for 2006. If these commitments had been included in the ‘donation turnover’ for 2006, the average business donation would have displayed a strong increase.
