Charity as a long-term investment
Foundation Emanuele Antola has the mission of helping humanity at large in a very specific way: by increasing the potentiality of those projects which make the most difference in changing the life of poor people and countries.
A Microdonation of 1.000 usd has more value in a country like India compared to Germany, for example. With the same money a project can benefit a lot more.
Experience at Foundation Emanuele Antola is that only small donations can make a difference and they really do in the projects. We have proven it along the years by following up with the projects we have supported.
Little money makes a long way when it is properly utilized. We follow up on projects to make sure that what they receive is actually spent for what was originally asked. We give microdonations only for concrete and measurable targets and no member of the Foundation get compensation.

What are the best charities to support in 2025?
Our recommended charities are highly reputable and remarkably effective. They have been rigorously evaluated and vetted by impact-focused charity evaluators — and those evaluators themselves have been investigated by our research team. We believe these charities represent some of the best opportunities to donate to, as they do substantially more good per dollar than average.

The role of foundations in supporting sustainable peace
By Sandra Breka, Member of the Board of Management, Robert Bosch Stiftung
The level of peace around the world in 2020 declined for the ninth time in twelve years. The coronavirus pandemic has led to a decrease in overall conflict levels, but roughly 120,000 people were killed by political violence and 45.7 million were internally displaced in 2020. Violent conflict has a profound impact on economies and impedes the reduction of poverty and hunger. Violence cost the world $14.5 trillion in economic activity in 2019 according to the Institute for Economics and Peace.

Uma Nivas (India) – Empower Young Women
We are raising funds to add a new Women's College and model Primary School to our existing Girls' High School at Uma Nivas in the Purulia District, one of the most needy areas of rural India
Our aim is to be an example of a high quality learning center that enriches the local rural life with culture, education and the inspiration to create future opportunities for employment and sustainable living in the locality. Through our modern, high quality education programmes we plan to generate possibilities for local young girls to be trained as teachers, builders, entrepreneurs and community organizers who will have job opportunities that will enable them to remain in their rural environment and develop it further. Our ultimate goal is to empower children from the primary school years with the tools to succeed in this rapidly changing world without losing their sense of identity.

Foundations after capitalism
The role of charitable foundations in a post-capitalist era is a complex and speculative topic, as we are still largely within a capitalist global system. However, imagining a post-capitalist future—where the dominant economic structures shift away from market-driven accumulation of capital toward systems based on equity, sustainability, and collective well-being—allows us to explore how charitable foundations might evolve or be reimagined.

The Role of Foundations in the Social and Economic Development of Poor Countries
Foundations—especially philanthropic and charitable organizations—play a significant role in the social and economic development of poor countries. While they are not substitutes for government action or market-based solutions, foundations often fill critical gaps by addressing systemic challenges, supporting innovation, and advocating for marginalized communities. Below is an overview of their key roles:
