Good governance ensures quality decisions, compliance and transparency. It requires clear roles, documented processes and efficient coordination between the foundation’s bodies.

Why Governance Is a Strategic Pillar

Governance is not theoretical. It defines legitimacy, responsibility and the ability of a foundation to fulfil its mission.

Key Governance Challenges

• Clear separation of roles (board, management, operations)
• Documented decision‑making
• Conflict‑of‑interest prevention
• Regular monitoring of funded projects
• Smooth information flow

Common Governance Pitfalls

• Decisions made without a clear framework
• Lack of formalised processes
• Dependence on one or two key individuals
• Limited visibility on financial commitments

Effective governance requires:

• structured routines,
• simple tools,
• documented workflows,
• clear communication channels.
