Annual reports
It is important to us that we give new supporters, potential members and benefactors an easily accessible overview of our work and of how we use donations. We do this by providing regular updates on our work, transparently disclosing donation amounts in our annual reports, and actively acknowledging and reflecting on mistakes.
