Endowment

ENDOWMENT

The endowment, established in 2022, serves as the primary source of funding for the Foundation's charitable programs. This milestone is pivotal for the Foundation, ensuring the long-term fulfillment of our mission.

Endowment Goals

1

Providing stable and adequate financial resources for a long-term implementation of the Foundation's mission and the progressive development of its charitable programs.

2

Receiving sufficient investment income from the endowments to ensure continuous funding of the Foundation's current activities and the implementation of its charitable programs.

3

Ensuring a stable portfolio growth with the goal of real capital increase and preservation of funds for future generations.

Our endowment has got a complex structure.
The endowments are formed within the organization, and they are managed by professional management companies selected for their reliability, quality of work and transparency.

The asset structure is determined by the Endowment Management Principles and Guidelines (The Investment Policy), which aim to preserve and increase the volume of assets for financing charitable activities. The Foundation's portfolio consists of long-term strategic investments and market investments.
