WWF's Programme Offices implement WWF's fieldwork, advise national and local governments, and raise public understanding of conservation issues. Two specialist offices, in Brussels and Washington, work to influence the policies and activities of the European Union and institutions that deal with global economic issues, such as the World Bank. The WWF International Secretariat, based in Gland, Switzerland, leads the network, develops joint policies and standards, fosters global partnerships, and provides services to the National Organizations. WWF's Associates are independent nongovernmental organizations that work closely with WWF and promote shared conservation objectives, but do not contribute financially to WWF's international conservation programme.
The WWF Network invested US$223 million in its conservation programme and support services in some 100 countries in financial year 1997. Of this, US$107 million was used for domestic conservation by National Organizations and US$116 million for the international conservation programme. A further US$41 million was spent on fundraising and US$20 million on administration. From its income in the year of almost US$323 million, this left more than US$38 million to support the network's future activities.
