Supporting our charity
ý Interest Foundation receives support from 1,878 donors (2024: 1,205) alongside trust and foundation grants. Members of the Society constitute 99% of our donor base. This increase in the number of donors is largely due to improved communication to members about the work of the Foundation.
This record year for unrestricted income was largely due to a number of large legacies left by members. This money is used to implement projects aimed at the development of sustainable enterprises, empowering women and youth, and building climate resilience in remote communities.

Events in 2025
During the year, the Foundation hosted one virtual event to update supporters, donors and partners on the progress of our Biopesticide Development Project in Côte d’Ivoire. The event took place in June and was attended by 74 people, including 54 members.
Foundation Manager, Kodzo Korkortsi, was joined by Kwami Dekanor, Lending Representative for West Africa, who provided an overview of the challenges facing the cocoa sector in the region. Kodzo then introduced the project, outlining its key objectives, targets and progress to date. We were also pleased to welcome Dr Mavis Acheampong from the University of Ghana, one of our project partners, who shared valuable technical insights.
In addition, Anciette Asseu, General Manager of SOCAAN, one of the four co-operatives participating in this project spoke about the climate-related challenges her community faces and their motivation for participating in this initiative.
