Entrust assets
You hand cash, securities or property to our trust institution. They join the Fund’s dedicated assets: they don’t belong to us, they are committed. One part funds grants to project holders; another is invested with banks and investment funds — and that part, and that part alone, pays your return.
- A return paid by the Fund’s investments, never taken from beneficiaries.
- A commitment horizon you choose, from three years to perpetuity.
- A devolution you set: back to you at term, or to the beneficiaries you name.
- You are told how the funds are used: the Fund only finances identified grants.
Where does this return come from? It comes from the Fund’s investments with banks and investment funds — never from grants, which are interest-free. It is not guaranteed: an investment, even an institutional one, remains an investment.
A settlor with no named heir can sign a deferred gift agreement. For 50 years, their assets remain fully available to any rightful claimant whose descent is genetically established. After that, if no one has come forward, they are permanently committed to the Fund and finance the endowments granted to project holders.
That capital, and that capital alone, is what makes giving possible: having no rightful owner any more, it doesn’t need to come back. The endowment is therefore not the house’s generosity — it has a source, it is finite, and that is what makes it sustainable.
