As a successful and developing company Prospero's Books Ltd. is dedicated to support foundations that serve public purposes. Below please find our principles for supporting foundations:
- We usually give support to foundations focusing on mainly health or social issues.
- We wish to support particular foundations regularly. We feel it is more feasible to give regular support to specific foundations than fritter our resources. Naturally we try to monitor how our donations are used, and if we see problems we stop helping that particular foundation. We only support foundations who give sufficient information on their activities.
- We do not support foundations that are involved in activities close to Prospero’s own fields of activities. So we do not give donations to library foundations eg.
- Foundation for the Development of Heim Pál Children’s Hospital
- Joy of Thinking Foundation
