Strategic philanthropy, institution-building, responsible investment and global partnership — governed professionally and measured rigorously.
The Foundation combines, within a single disciplined institution, the strengths of seven kinds of philanthropic organisation — and operates well beyond traditional grant-giving.
Direct humanitarian assistance & emergency response
Strategic philanthropy & structured grant-making
Impact investing & prudent endowment management
Research funding & institution-building
Community development & capacity building
ESG & CSR implementation with the Group
Social entrepreneurship & mission-aligned institutions
Combining founder and corporate contributions with external donations, grants and prudent endowment returns — all subject to applicable law, approvals and the Foundation’s statutes.
Initial and ongoing contributions from the Kelmendi Family and Kelmendi Holdings Ltd.
Support from Group companies through donations and aligned CSR/ESG programmes and partnerships.
Participating Group companies may aspire to contribute at least 10% of distributable dividends — a long-term aspiration, subject to law and approvals.
Where legally permissible, Group companies may allocate up to 10% in non-voting interests, creating permanent income-generating endowment assets.
Contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, NGOs, international organizations and governments.
Funding from the EU, UN agencies, development banks, international donors and government programmes.
Prudent investment of endowment assets to generate sustainable income in support of the mission.
Indicative orientation. Over time, the Foundation aims for a balanced base in which recurring endowment and dividend income covers core costs and a meaningful share of programmes. Figures express structural intentions; actual amounts are reported in the annual audited financial statements (EUR).

A results-based framework is embedded from the outset. Each pillar and major programme defines objectives, indicators, baselines, targets and verification methods — so outcomes can be measured and independently reported.
