The 2016 Annual Report on the State of Philanthropy in Bosnia and Herzegovina is part of a broader
initiative to promote and stimulate philanthropy in the region carried out by the Catalyst Foundation.
The underlying research and this publication were created by Catalyst Foundation (Catalyst Balkans)
and with the generous support of the C. S. Mott Foundation and Balkan Trust for Democracy (BTD).
Opinions expressed in this publication do not necessarily those of the Balkan Trust for Democracy, the
German Marshall Fund of the United States, or its partners.
During 2016, Catalyst Balkans tracked media reports on domestic
individual, corporate and diaspora philanthropy in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. This Infographic provides key statistics on the findings
of this research.
