Our Financial Summary 2026

The total combined income for 2025-26 from Karuna UK, Karuna Germany (DE), and Karuna USA amounted to £3,472,048. We extend our gratitude to the trusts, individual supporters, and institutions whose contributions have made this achievement possible.

Of the total income, £1,866,792 was received from individual supporters, £1,526,531 from Trusts and Institutions, £13,311 from gifts in wills, and £65,414 from investment income.

Thanks to supporter generosity, we were able to allocate £2,410,610 towards programme delivery in 2025-26. This allocation brings us to 87% of our three-year strategic goal of committing £8,815,200 in charitable expenditure across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

Even though it was a year where funding was tighter across the board, the impact of the work still grew. As our Chief Executive, Louise Thomas, puts it: “We did not get bigger this year. Our impact did.” Thank you for standing with us, so we can stand behind them.
