Financial Information

The United Nations Foundation (UNF) employs rigorous accounting standards and financial controls to effectively steward the more than $1 billion entrusted to us by our Chairman, partners, and donors.

Our financial stewardship efforts have led to thirteen consecutive years of clean financial audits.

Since its inception in 1998, an average of 94 cents of every dollar that the UN Foundation raised and spent went directly to support UN programs and causes. A breakdown of our expenses for the fiscal year 2011 is presented below.

IRS 990 forms and financial statements from our auditors are available for both the UN Foundation and our sister organization, the Better World Fund. We provide our IRS Form 990s on our website in order to share our financial information with partners, donors, and the public. Studying the IRS Form 990 will increase your understanding of the charitable organizations you choose to support. Should you have any further questions about these forms, please contact Walter Cortés, Chief Financial Officer at wcortes@unfoundation.org.
