The Foundation operates both by supporting local initiatives through open-grant competitions and by planning and implementing projects of its own.

Thus, the Foundation functions as a creative workshop, generating innovative ideas and setting new high standards on the one hand, while seeking out and supporting the best initiatives by local organizations and citizens on the other.
