Description of the funding initiative
The Becht Foundation allocates grants to activities or organisations which halt, reverse or at least materially mitigate negative impacts on natural environment and on the health and prosperity of species and people.

In addition, the foundation invests part of its assets in profit-making companies with a social charter consistent with its objectives.
