THE BORDER CONSORTIUM
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held THB 71M in freely available general reserves at the end of 2024, exceeding its stated minimum policy target of THB 25M. However, the filing notes a challenging funding climate, with significant reliance on government donors and recent reductions in US funding leading to programme cuts and staff reductions in 2025.
