Like many other foundations around the world, we decided to spare some trees, while making our information more widely accessible. Here you will be able to find our major accomplishments over the last year, information regarding our 2011–2012 grantees, the ways in which we spend our financial resources, and more information on our program areas. We are very proud of the many accomplishments we were able to achieve during a very busy year. Of course, we couldn’t have done it without our donors, supporters, partners and grantees. We thank you for your support.
