ngos’ expenditure

In 2024, non-governmental organisations had just under € 1,4 billion in expenditures, which is € 38,76 million less than the revenues they generated. The surplus of revenues amounting to 2,7 % of revenues was used to pay corporate income tax (€ 4,38 million), while the remainder was, in accordance with the law, used to achieve the basic (non-profit) purpose or for the development of their activities.

As NGOs, we count associations (including data on branches of associations and youth councils), institutes (including religious communities that have the status of a humanitarian organisation) and foundations. Associations, institutes and foundations established by the Republic of Slovenia, municipalities or other public-law entities are excluded from the data. The table below shows the type, amount and share of individual expenditures of non-governmental organisations.

In 2024, non-governmental organizations allocated almost a half (49,51 %) of their expenditure to pay for services and slightly more than 29% to labour costs. Labour costs were the highest at institutes, which also otherwise have highest share of employed workers. The share of financial expenditures (such as interest on received loans) accounted for just under one third of a percent (0,30 %) of all expenditures.
