Open / close summary

Particularly committed to maintaining excellence, the Paris Brain Institute has put in place internal and external control procedures to ensure the rigour and effectiveness of its management: membership of the Committee on the Charter of Giving with Trust and the call for an independent auditor.

The Paris Brain Institute accounts are made public each year and communicated to donors in a quarterly issue of their newsletter. They are available on the Internet under “Official publications” and are widely disseminated.

Our Control Procedures

Don en confiance

On November 3, 2010, the Paris Brain Institute received the approval of the Trust Giving Charter Committee, renewed in October 2022. For more than 20 years, this committee has been responsible for professional regulation of the appeal to public generosity. Its action is based on three commitments: recognised organisations must respect ethical rules, they must abide by collective discipline vis-à-vis donors, and they must accept continuous monitoring of the commitments entered into.

Report of the External Auditor

The Paris Brain Institute employs an independent auditor, KPMG, who annually audits and certifies the accounts of the Brain Institute.  Find the full report of the 2022 audit on the dedicated space.

Products 2023 by origin

The funding of research projects is characterised by a plurality of funding sources with a long-term perspective in order to produce knowledge and major advances in neuroscience.

The revenue amounts to €86.4m and includes €66.9m in revenue for the year and €19.5m in carry-overs of resources allocated and not used in previous years. Proceeds from the financial year correspond to revenue from collections (€31 million, or 46%), which themselves consist of donations (€14.7 million, or 47%), bequests and donations (€7.7 million, or 25%), and patronage (€8.6 million, or 28%).

They also include:

  • revenue from the activities of technology platforms (€10 million) and research collaborations with industrial partners (€1.2 million);
  • public and private subsidies (€16.6 million);
  • financing of the IHU programme (€3.9 million);
  • of miscellaneous income (€4.2 million) (rentals, charge rebilling, financial income).

Jobs 2023 by destination

The overall charge totals €83.9 million: €57.7 million used and €26.2 million to be made in the future from the resources allocated. Jobs devoted to social missions amount to €47.8 million, representing 84% of CROD’s total jobs.

The social missions of the Brain Institute concern:

  • research programmes;
  • technological platforms;
  • scientific leadership and the implementation of international alliances;
  • incubation of innovative enterprises.
Funding for research projects is mainly devoted to diseases of the nervous system and spinal cord injuries. Technology platforms (neuroimaging, vectorology, genotyping sequencing, cell culture, histology and bioinformatics) support these projects.

The costs of fund-raising and communication correspond to the costs incurred in raising funds from individuals (donations and bequests), companies and private foundations (corresponding to patronage and sponsorship actions), as well as communication actions. They represent a total of €5.6 million, or 10% of CROD’s total employment.

The operating costs correspond to the costs of the support teams (general secretariat, finance, human resources, legal, IT and logistics) which account for 6% of the CROD’s total posts, i.e. €3.6 million.
