Commentary on the balance

Liabilities: short-term debts
The item advanced project costs relates to amounts already paid to projects before donors are found or donations are received. The payments are funded via advances from the Net4kids Continuity Fund. If and when it becomes likely that insufficient donations will be collected for these projects, the Net4kids Continuity Fund donates the balance for that specific project to the Net4kids Aid Foundation. To date, this situation has not occurred. Enough donors have been found in time for all projects.

The advanced project costs increased in 2007. This increase is in line with the increase in donations and project spending.

The item to be spent on projects consists of donations that have been received but not yet transferred to our project partners. This increase is also in line with the increase in donations and project spending.

Donations received in advance are donations received for several years of support or donations that have not yet been assigned to a project. The increase is driven by a limited number of large donors.

Commentary on statement of income and expenditure


Actual donations in 2007 grew by 21.5% compared to 2007, but do not reach the budget for 2007 (€ 685,000). Despite the lower than budgeted amount, Net4kids continues to grow. Strong growth in past years was primarily driven by growth in business donations. Over the past year, growth in business donations slowed (+ 22%), while private donations showed a 15% increase after a relatively large drop in 2006.

All activities required for fundraising, back-office and infrastructural support of the Net4kids Aid Foundation are covered financially by the Net4kids Organisation.
