The 2016 Annual Report on the State of Philanthropy in Albania 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 Albania. This
Infographic provides key statistics on the findings of this research.
