1. Sustainability. We support charitable projects with the profits earned from investments. Charitable donations are not issued from the fixed capital. Said principle allows yearly growth of the total volume of the funds and annual grants.
2. Growing reach. Thanks to the capital accumulation we can give out higher donations every year which means we can support an increasing number of people in need and therefore reach even bigger number of people.
