Resources and Assets

Our foundation receives its funds from subsidies, gifts, legacies, bequests, and other contributions. We do not actively raise this income; it comes from external support.

We manage our assets carefully and hold only what is necessary to continue carrying out our activities and objectives in a sustainable manner. No one within the foundation has personal control over the assets. They are and remain fully intended to achieve our objectives.

Furthermore, the foundation is not-for-profit: all resources are used to support our mission.

Mission

The foundation's mission is to financially support projects in the fields of arts and culture, education, medical science, and medical research. It also contributes to institutions that serve the public interest. All activities are carried out in the public interest.

The foundation's policy aligns with this: by providing financial support to projects and institutions in these areas, the foundation actively contributes to the promotion of arts, culture, knowledge, and social value.
