Principles of the Foundation’s Work

Major principles in the Foundation’s operation are openness, transparency, expedience, adequacy, effectiveness, equilibrium, predictability, and consideration of the public opinion. These principles are integrated into respective procedures and rules of the Foundation. Major decisions of the Foundation are made through consulting the experts and the public.

The list and contents of single projects in the framework of general lines defined by the Supervisory Board are approved on the basis of recommendations by special Expert Councils, created by the Foundation on the open basis for every single program. The Foundation's Expert Councils include competent professionals, public figures, and scholars.

Decisions to use the money for providing charity support are made by the Foundation’s Public Council for Humanitarian Issues, including members of other public and charitable organizations along with Ukrainian MPs and experts in various fields.
