Expert approach
Organizations to be funded are selected on the basis of a thorough analysis of program activities and a financial audit. In the course of project implementation the Fund carries out regular checks of project related and financial activities of the supported charities.
Cooperation and support
Assistance is provided to the supported charities to help increase their professional level in various fields of activities.
