- Committed and diverse communities (incl. youth, women and girls)
- Inclusive market (incl. SME development for farmers and women)
- Agriculture (incl. climate change and soil fertility)

They fund in Africa (Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa), Latin America (Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela), Southeast Asia (India, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand).
4) Budget
The Foundation has an annual grant budget of around €8,000,000. The Foundation receives more than 200 proposals a year, out of which around half of these projects receive funding. Individual grant sizes differ according to the type of project.

Applications can be sent throughout the year by email. First, a short application must be sent including details about the organisations and a short description of the project (goals, duration, country, beneficiaries, impact model, budget) explaining why the Foundation would be an ideal partner.
