Focus

The focus of the RISE activities is determined by its Board in the light of the size of the available capital and contributions and of the specific destination that individual donors may determine, and will be outlined in the activity reports. The Foundation develops its activities by focusing on innovative pilot projects. It emphasizes the support for sustainable development of Europe’s private agriculture, the promotion of land, and biodiversity and environmental preservation and protection. In accordance with the RISE statute, the bulk of the Foundation’s resources are devoted to projects in Europe, but a significant share is set apart for rural and sub-urban projects in the Developing Countries, as a token of solidarity.
