Why trust MSF with your donation?
![How We Spend Your Money Independent](https://api.msf.hk/media/liee0m4u/how-we-spend-your-money-independent.png)
1 | Your money keeps us independent
MSF does not take money from governments. We rely on the support of passionate individuals, as well as the institutions, foundations and companies they make up.
This independent funding means we have the freedom to act fast. We can stay neutral in complex environments and conflict zones, and we can provide impartial care to people regardless of ethnicity, religion or politics.

2 | Support without restrictions
MSF’s emergency teams can only launch a rapid response thanks to ‘unrestricted’ donations – money generously given to our general funds.
This means we don't always need to launch a charity appeal when a humanitarian emergency is in the news or wait for funding to be cleared. Instead, our teams around the world can act fast with valuable flexibility.
In short, our donors trust us to use their donations wherever the need is greatest.

3 | Direct medical aid
MSF delivers healthcare directly to people in need. We set up and run medical services, build facilities, transport supplies and train staff ourselves.
In many places, we also support existing healthcare staff with professional development and resources – an investment that means life-saving healthcare will continue, even after we leave.
The money you give to MSF is spent by MSF.

4 | Transparency
Money transferred to an MSF medical programme is carefully managed by expert project teams – including financial staff.
Funds are subject to a rigorous accounting system, with every penny logged and all the information flowing back to headquarters, offices and our donors. We believe transparency and accountability are essential.
We are also transparent about our charity appeals – we will only ever launch a campaign if we are certain that we can spend your money on that specific crisis. There are no hidden disclaimers that will divert your donation to other parts of the organisation.
