Nadácia G Institute
How the foundation is governed
The foundation is governed by Act No. 34/2002 Coll. on Foundations and by its founding deed of 28 August 2024.
Board of trustees
The foundation’s highest body (správna rada). Three members appointed for three-year terms. Membership is unpaid, and members may not receive funds from the foundation. The board approves the annual budget, decides on the use of the foundation’s assets and elects the administrator and the supervisor.
Administrator
The statutory body (správca nadácie). Manages the foundation’s activities, acts on its behalf and reports to the board of trustees at least once a year.
Supervisor
The control body (revízor). Checks the foundation’s accounting and its compliance with the law and the founding deed, approves the financial statements and the annual report, and reports any shortcomings to the board of trustees.
The founding deed is available on request.
Accountability
Use of assets and reporting
No distribution of surplus
The foundation does not pursue profit. Any surplus is used only for its public-benefit purpose and is not distributed to the founder, the members of its bodies or any other person.
Separate records
The foundation’s administrative costs are recorded separately in its accounts, as the founding deed requires.
Annual reporting
The foundation prepares an annual report by 30 June each year and files it in the public part of the Register of Financial Statements by 15 July.
Relationship between the entities
Separation and arm’s-length terms
