Financial Sustainability
at Every Level
An accounting of the decade-long arc of NAWS contributions, the regional shoulders that carry it, and the participation gap that keeps widening.
Total contributions to NA World Services peaked in fiscal 2022 and have softened since. In the most recent reported year — fiscal 2025 — only 19% of recorded service bodies typed “group” sent anything at all. Eleven regions account for the bulk of receipts; the rest of the world contributes increasingly little. Below: the trend, the burden, and the attrition.

A Decade in One Line
Total contributions, fiscal year by fiscal year. The 2022 figure remains the high-water mark.
Who Gives, Who Doesn't
Participation rates by service-body type for fiscal 2025. The disparity between regions (near-universal participation) and groups (vanishingly small) is the funding story in one table.

The Regional Shoulders
Top contributing regions in fiscal 2025. The dependency on a small handful of regions is the core sustainability question.
