Policy
plan
The
Foundation has the objective of promoting social and environmental causes in
Europe and other developmental activities.
In
general, the Foundation will make gifts to charitable entities which support
the objectives of the Foundation but in appropriate cases it will provide
direct financial support to organisations in conformity with its objectives.
The
Foundation is a non-profit organisation.
The
Foundation finances its activities from gifts from third parties and its own
investments.
The
assets of the Foundation are invested in relatively safe investments such as
bank deposits, or in investments which are aligned with achieving charitable
objectives.
Donations
from within Ave Fenix Philanthropy Group were received with limitations as to suitable causes
to be identified: approximately €350,000 for social benefit purposes and a
similar amount for environmental purposes within 2023 and 2024.
The
board of the Foundation
Chairman:

Board
member: Armina Almonte La Torre
The
members of the board are jointly authorised to bind the Foundation.
The
Foundation has no personnel, and the members of the board are not remunerated
for their services.
Activities
Finding projects of a suitable quality is
extremely important. Generally, the Foundation cooperates with other
organisations which it has got to know through direct investment. With this
objective and as a consequence of the difficulties
imposed on activity by the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, the Foundation has joined a
group of like-minded charitable organisations with a common brand and narrowed
its geographic focus to projects in Europe.
As a result of the Foundation joining Ave
Fenix Philanthropy Group, the Foundation has been allocated existing projects
by other members of the Group to continue to implement with funding dedicated
to those projects also provided.
The Foundation has also been allocated
funds from Ave Fenix Philanthropy Group for use in various sectors of
philanthropy with organisations established/operating in Europe. Ave Fenix Philanthropy Group currently
consists of nine (9) organisations which focus on regional donations, and one
(1) which focuses on social enterprises globally; and another two (2) focus on
advising and managing philanthropists and philanthropic organisations.
During 2022, the Foundation completed donations to the
following major charitable activities:
·
CHF393,006
donation to IUCN in Switzerland for various projects involving endangered species;
·
GBP
250,000 to a hospital in the United Kingdom, towards a new breast cancer unit.
FORECAST 2023
The Foundation expects to make new donations during
2023 and 2024 in accordance with donations earmarked for specific areas of
charitable activity in the European geographic region, to organisations
selected as meeting the objectives of the Foundation, with approximately
EUR300,000.- being allocated across identified purposes in the Environmental
and Ecological, Flora and Fauna sectors
and approximately EUR300,000.- spread across various social benefit
purposes approved by the Foundation. Additionally, the Foundation will cooperate
and co-donate with other members of Ave Fenix Philanthropy Group on projects of
global significance, as well as completing already committed donations.
Financial position
The first
financial year of the Foundation ends on 31 December 2013.
