This is evidenced by a study by the AK&M Rating Agency, which published the results of the fourth rating of charitable foundations supported by large corporations. The project partner is SIBUR.
The total amount of funds spent by the funds included in the rating amounted to 66.5 billion rubles. Over the year, their size increased by 14%, which generally exceeds the official inflation rate (9.52%). At the same time, the expenses of the largest foundations increased by 15.3%, medium–sized and large - by 16%, and the bulk of small foundations reduced charitable assistance by 4.2%.
The rating has recorded a trend towards an increase in the cost of servicing funds. On average, the funds' expenses for the maintenance of the apparatus and other non-targeted needs increased and amounted to 13.2% of total expenses. A year earlier, the funds spent 8.3% of all expenses on ensuring their activities.
The rating evaluates the size of charity and other targeted activities of foundations for 2024. The rating of charitable foundations has been published by the AK&M Rating Agency since 2022. It includes funds not only established by major corporations, but also founded by individuals and actively cooperating with large companies, receiving support from them and participating in joint projects. At the same time, only those funds that companies mention in their ESG reports, disclosing information about their social projects, are evaluated. 152 funds were included in the final list.
