      The valid applications will then be reviewed after each application deadline, by the Steering Committee of the Foundation, which will select the proposals according to the objectives of the Foundation, its priority areas of focus and the overall impact of the proposed action.

      The selected beneficiaries will be notified after each review round.

      ​​A grant agreement will be provided for signature, and funds will be transfered within 30 days of the signature of this agreement.

      Note: we will do our best to adhere to this timeframe but reserve the right to modify it should circumstances require.

       

      REPORTING PROCESS

      For projects that are selected, the following fall (October / November 2026) the Foundation will provide a link to an online reporting form. This simple impact report in English will help the Foundation understand the use of the allocated funds and how they provided support.
