Our Grantees

We provide long-term professional, human and financial support for the creation and development of communities based on trust and ongoing dialogue. We craft our support to meet the unique needs of our partners to provide flexibility and freedom.

WITH WOMEN ‘SOLIDARITY’ PROGRAMME
Our programme supports initiatives working for a better representation of women’s perspectives: through community fundraising evenings and Hungary’s first women’s giving circle.
Leap into the Future! funds
In 2020, following the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic, and in 2022, following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, we launched the Leap into the Future! funds to respond to current world events. We use the crisis fund to support grassroots initiatives through open calls and our partner organisations.
Live Crowdfunding Events
With the help of our foundation’s expertise, companies can test a new and impactful approach to corporate social responsibility, while their employees experience what it feels like to be catalysts for local social change.
Private Funds
Several private donors have already decided, after presenting their goals and values, to select the organizations they wish to support with the help of our foundation. We also assist in delivering the funding and handling the legal procedures.
Other grants
We believe it’s important to be proactive in supporting causes that align with our values, alongside our framework programmes: in these cases, our foundation identifies the causes to support and we initiate the collaboration.
