First Contact<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p>The Foundation does not advertise its assistance or take the initiative to offer it.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation is a last-resort entity; those who approach it must have exhausted other sources of financing and be unable to obtain it from banking entities.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation \u00a0must deal directly with the party responsible for the project \u00a0without intermediaries, to avoid hindering the process.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to help people. We must identify their problems and possible solutions. If the diagnosis and approach are sound, everything else is secondary.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>2. Granting aid<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><\/u>Before granting aid, the beneficiary must present a coherent and viable action plan. The interested party can count on the Foundation\u2019s technical assistance.<\/p>\n<p>When granting aid, the total economic amount must be specified in advance to prevent the beneficiary from extending the aid beyond the initial amount.<\/p>\n<p>The grant requires the backing of an institution of proven solvency, even if its authority is more moral than economic.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation will not assume financing alone: contributions of own resources are required, in amounts appropriate to the beneficiary\u2019s capacity, and sometimes from other financiers.<\/p>\n<p>Beneficiaries cannot demand that their identity be confidential. This requirement is reserved for fund donors.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>3. Implementation of Aid<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><\/u>The Foundation prefers to give repayable aid. Non-repayable contributions are exceptional because this could lead to the financing of non-viable projects.<\/p>\n<p>Financing is always flexible and adapts to the beneficiary\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Once aid is approved, an execution schedule is agreed upon. It will generally be short and never more than ten years. If grace periods are required, the beneficiary must commit to making repayments during those periods, even if they are only symbolic.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>4. Refusals<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><\/u>Delaying a request is worse than an outright no. Making the petitioner wait can create false expectations and frustrations.<\/p>\n<p>Automatic denial will be given to:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Any request that cannot be approved within a short timeframe.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Any project that violates legal or moral norms (labor abuses, tax evasion, money laundering, exploitation of children or women, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Any controversial and political topic.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Any topic that is not publishable or sufficiently transparent.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Any request from those who have demonstrated a lack of commitment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Requests from those who refuse to risk their resources, thus leaving all economic risk to the Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Requests for funding commercial projects or business developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Any beneficiary who adopts a belligerent attitude, demanding the grant as if it were a right.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, two considerations:<\/p>\n<p>Every rejected request report must be documented in case further study is needed or if the petitioner reapplies.<\/p>\n<p>When a project is likely to be rejected. additional information or letters that could generate false expectations should not be requested[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;
