In 2019 Gauss established its own Endowment Fund with an initial donation made by André Longo Milanese, which was then complemented by further contributions. The Fund’s objective is to ensure the sustainability of Gauss’ projects, utilizing its investment earnings exclusively to support the organization’s operational expenses. Currently, the Fund’s AUM (Assets Under Management) stand at around US$ 530 thousand*; our goal is to reach US$ 1,8 million* over the next three years.
* Exchange rate BRL/USD 5.50
The Fund’s spending rate is limited to 5% of AUM, as of the end of each fiscal period.
