A small portion is allocated to independent, third party fund managers (who manage our invested funds for a concessional rate of 1-2%). The funds are invested into risk adjusted asset classes to enhance the balance of funds   who manage the principal to cover necessary administrative costs to keep our programs running efficiently.

We provide annual reports for full transparency—read more on our Impact page. Our annual reports provide detailed breakdowns of how funds are distributed, ensuring complete transparency.

The Foundation operates with a long-term vision, balancing immediate impact with sustainable growth. A portion of our funds is carefully invested in ethical and socially responsible portfolios to generate returns. These returns:  - Support ongoing projects and initiatives.  - Ensure the Foundation’s financial stability for future programs.  Our investment strategy is guided by professional advisors and reviewed regularly to align with our mission and values.
