Reporters without borders .The following disclosure on RWB site : Private donors for 2006
Continuing donations by French and foreign private institutions enabled us to complete the purchase of premises for a new headquarters in 2007 by providing €250,000 for this purpose. Sanofi Aventis again showed its strong commitment to defending press freedom with a gift of €600,000 to pay for production of a special limited edition of the Studio Harcourt book of photos and to fund the wall newspaper Qui-Vive! We also received donations from Benetton, the French distribution firm CFAO and the Zeta Group, which awarded Reporters Without Borders its Antonio Asensio Prize.
Donations by private foundations (the Soros Fondation, the Center for a Free Cuba, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Fondation de France) decreased slightly as a result of some projects (such as the Handbook for Bloggers and reproduction of the paper De Cuba) being discontinued.
Private donors accounted for 24% of the combined income of Reporters Without Borders in 2006, down from 27% in 2005
