Philanthropic support over the past 7 years.
Financial performance 2018
2018 was the year of investment. 2,4 mio $ new commitments were made for the different programs we support.
The most important one was for The Ocean Cleanup ($1,3 mio).
The other commitments were for the restoration of Rembrandt’s Nachtwacht painting ($570K), the research to fight pancreas cancer for the VUmc ($428K) and the second part of the family strengthening program in the Senegal for SOS Children Villages ($122K).
After a strong return in 2017, the Foundation had a negative return of 7% on its assets managed by JP Morgan. The average return since inception in 2008 is still above 4%.
The operating expenses were in line with previous years. The major part related to fees for the US Ruling administration. The other expenses were for salaries and for the accountant’s compilation report.
The result was $2,912,305 negative.
The Equity at end December 2018 decreased to $6,048,878 and the Assets were at $7,782,028.
