The return on the assets is paid out to...

... non-profit organisations that fully disclose their use of funds and have the effectiveness of their activities scientifically analysed and evaluated.

Donations to the fund should generate the greatest possible social added value. Pitiful media reports and personal preferences, on the other hand, should have no influence on the fund's decision to donate.
That is why we follow the recommendations of GiveWell, which comprehensively and transparently reviews the effectiveness of aid organisations.
