In 2018 Catalyst Balkans processed 9,678 reports on charitable giving in the Giving
Balkans database. This represents mass individual giving, donations by companies and
individuals for the development of their communities.
This year is marked by an increase of instances made by the corporate
sector (51.3%) and individual donors (10%), and on the other hand, a significant
decrease in the case of citizens’ activity (34.1%). In comparison with last year,
citizens had fewer opportunities to contribute as less calls for donations and
fundraising events was recorded.
The four key themes supported were: support to marginalized
groups (36.6%), healthcare (17.6%), education (17.5%), and poverty relief
(6.7%). The instances directed to these themes add up to 78.4% of all
recorded instances.
