How we use your donations

© Nicola Vigilanti

To uphold MSF’s independence, so that we can be seen to offer assistance to populations in danger without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, sex, creed or political affiliations, the great majority of MSF's funding for projects comes from donations from the public. Over 5 million individual donors around the world provide more than 99 per cent of our funding. The remaining funds come from governments and intergovernmental organizations.

In 2017, 87.1% of the funds raised by MSF-Hong Kong were used to support relief operations in the frontline. The rest goes towards covering administration and fundraising expenses.
