It runs nine staff implementing and coordinating grant and program activities.

The foundation operates a diversified portfolio of grant programs and direct initiatives.

Beyond grants, the foundation directly operates the Zaměstnanecký solidární fond (an employee hardship fund where the company triples voluntary contributions), the Tipsport pro legendy project (recording life stories of nearly 160 Czechoslovak sports legends in partnership with Post Bellum since 2016 and providing 5,000 CZK monthly stipends for three years to those in need), a shared electric bicycle network on Berounsko with 27 charging stations operated via the nextbike app, the humanitarian Pomoc Ukrajině program (over 30M CZK disbursed over four years), and the wholly-owned VIA Beroun private school (founded 2021, with a Gymnázium added September 2025).

The foundation is funded entirely by its corporate parent and operates as a non-profit; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
