Program strategy

We focus on supporting projects in the field of art, higher education, secondary education and education and development in the field of digital technologies.

A foundation is typically a grant-making organization. Support is granted through open grant programs: Art, Education and Digital. In addition, we support some selected partner organizations and invite
exceptional personalities, such as Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, to Slovakia.

Our open grant programs are typical for:

OPENNESS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
We have open and publicly known dates for the announcement, closing and evaluation of grant programs.
We are open to anyone who meets the conditions of a specific grant program.

JUSTICE
What decides is always and only quality:

• project quality,
• the quality of the applicant (e.g. merit in the case of students),
• quality of evaluators (experts in the given field),
• the same terms for everyone.

TRANSPARENCY OF THE ASSESSMENT AND THE RESULT
We inform those who passed and those who failed.

Who do we support?

We support natural persons with so-called social status, as required by law. They are mainly students of universities, colleges and non-business legal entities - institutions established by state or local government bodies and all legal forms of non-governmental non-profit organizations.
