How we function
The Managing Board decides about Project funding and is controlled by the Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board is appointed by ”DIE ERSTE österreichische Spar-Casse Privatstiftung Association”, the very same one which was founded in 1819.
The Board of Trustees is composed of experts from the Region advising the Foundation in its three programmatic areas: Social Development, Culture and Europe.
