Planned giving for European nature<br />

A further strengthening of <strong>EuroNatur</strong>’s asset base is of<br />

great importance for the foundation’s independence<br />

and performance as a successful advocate for nature in<br />

Europe. The increase in the foundation’s capital creates<br />

planning certainty and independence. Endowments and<br />

bequests therefore provide immensely valuable support<br />

to us and are a great sign of confidence, confidence that<br />

we endeavour to honour with our commitment. In <strong>2018</strong>,<br />

all endowments and yields from bequests were transferred<br />

to the foundation’s capital stock. This has further<br />

strengthened <strong>EuroNatur</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s financial position.<br />

We expect that revenues from portfolio management<br />

will, as a minimum, remain stable in the coming years.<br />

Bequests and legacies in <strong>2018</strong><br />

<strong>EuroNatur</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> upon their death. We are greatly<br />
