3. Donations & Financial Contributions

The 6Summits Rwenzori Community Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals and partners to fund our grassroots initiatives.

Use of Funds

All donations are directed toward community development, environmental conservation, educational initiatives, and the necessary operational costs required to sustain the Foundation. While we strive to honor donor preferences for specific projects (e.g., Tree Planting vs. Youth Empowerment), the Foundation’s Board of Directors retains ultimate discretion and control over the use of all donated funds to ensure they are deployed where most urgently needed.
