b) Specific Information on Fundraising Activities

The World Family of Radio Maria does not conduct fundraising activities. Contributions come from grants paid by members.

The World Family proposes developing the Radio Maria Project in certain countries to its members who – during the event known as the Mariathon – raise funds directly from their supporter to underwrite such projects. In this sense, fundraising is carried out directly by the World Family's associated members through specific campaigns directed toward their supporters.

The funds raised by members have the express purpose of supporting and developing the previously described work. The main tool for providing information to the public about the resources collected and their destination is the informational brochure used in the various meetings with the members and made available on the internet.

The main members who have raised funds for projects in 2022 are:

- Collection of donations from Radio Maria: Austria, Costa Rica, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Malta, Panama, Romania Erdely, Slovakia Slovensko, Spain, Switzerland Ticino.

- Specific purpose: mainly developing countries;

- Tools used to provide information to the public about the resources collected and their designated use: Financial reporting/project presentation brochures.

c) Critical Issue Reporting by Administrators

Pandemic-related restrictions, especially during the first part of the year, have caused delays in the shipment of materials and assembly of some installations of existing projects needed to ensure safe operation. Where possible, it was decided to acquire materials locally, in the project beneficiary countries, and to use local or foreign installers where destinations could guarantee safe conditions for the interventions carried out.
