Economic situation
A testament for European nature
A further strengthening of EuroNatur’s asset base is of great importance for the foundation’s independence and performance as a successful advocate for nature in Europe. The increase in the foundation’s capital creates planning certainty and independence. Endowments and bequests therefore provide immensely valuable support to us and are a great sign of confidence, confidence that we endeavour to honour with our commitment. In 2022, endowments and large portion of the revenue from bequests were transferred to the foundation’s capital stock. This has further strengthened EuroNatur Foundation’s financial position. We expect that revenues from portfolio management will, as a minimum, remain stable in the coming years.

In 2022, EuroNatur managed three non-autonomous foundations and three earmarked named funds. The named funds’ capital ( € 496k) was increased by € 3k compared to the previous financial year while the capital of the non-autonomous foundations ( € 2,169k) remained unchanged. In the reporting year, yields from non-autonomous foundations continued to exclusively benefit EuroNatur project activities.
