Resources of the Restos du Coeur
The resources of the Restos are diversified. They are essentially based on a triptych: the generosity of the public, which provides almost half of the association’s financial income (47% of the total), subsidies (33%), and Enfoirés products (7%). In addition, there are corporate sponsorships or partnerships and other private funds, financial and exceptional income and miscellaneous income.
