Facts and figures
MSF is an international, independent, private, and non-profit organisation. Currently, there are 24 sections and 19 branch offices around the world.
Additional satellite offices exist to support our work, mainly for logistics, supply, and epidemiology. These satellites provide specific activities for the benefit of the MSF movement and/or MSF entities, such as humanitarian relief supplies, epidemiological and medical research, IT services, fundraising, facility management, and research on humanitarian and social action. As these entities are controlled by MSF, they are included in the scope of the MSF International Financial Report and the figures presented here.
The figures presented below describe MSF’s finances on a combined international level. This means that they add up the finances of all sections after eliminating all transactions and balances between MSF entities. The 2025 combined international figures have been prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER/RPC. The figures have been audited by the accounting firm of Ernst & Young.
The figures presented here are for the 2025 calendar year. All amounts are presented in millions of euros.
Note: rounding may result in apparent inconsistencies in totals.
Where did the money come from?
MSF’s revenue in 2025 exceeded €2.6 billion. The breakdown of income by source has remained stable. Income increased by €248 million, or 10 per cent over 2024.
More than 7.5 million private donors
As part of MSF’s effort to guarantee its independence and strengthen the organisation’s link with society, we strive to maintain a high level of private income. In 2025, 98 per cent of MSF’s operating income came from private sources.
More than 7.5 million individual donors and private foundations worldwide made this possible. Public institutional agencies providing funding to MSF included, among others, the governments of Canada and Switzerland; the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; Unitaid; and national health institutes, research organisations, regional councils, and municipalities of France, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
