We Support
Knowledge and movement
We provide financial and expert support to organizations, projects, and individuals who share our values, openness, freedom, education, and responsibility. We focus on education, democracy, and initiatives supporting children’s health and physical activity. We regularly reassess our priorities to support projects with the greatest positive impact.
An educated society
We invest in education that prepares people for real future challenges. Beyond our own projects, we support initiatives aligned with our vision of an open, educated society. Our support focuses on three pillars: democracy development, access to education, and healthy lifestyles.
We believe informed citizens, strong institutions, and active communities are the foundation of a healthy democracy.

Young people changing the world
A civic organization led by students and young people who care about society. It connects, educates, and motivates people to actively shape the future.

A healthy society
We support initiatives that promote physical activity and improve public health. Prevention and active lifestyles are key to better quality of life and a more sustainable healthcare system. We focus especially on children, helping them build a positive relationship with movement from an early age.
6 hours of movement per week for families
Child movement = better quality of life
In 1991, 10% of children were overweight or obese. Today it’s 30%+, and rising. Children move less, play sports less often, and lack healthy habits and shared physical activity with parents.
This trend threatens future quality of life, that’s why we want to get children moving.
