The figures above are approximate. It is difficult to anticipate all the costs relating to a particular project, taking into account the variation in the cost of living in different countries. Currency fluctuations can result in a rise or in a decrease in costs.

Thanks to our expanding experience we will be able to prepare more detailed budgets as time goes by. The outline budget does not take into account the fees incurred in establishing the FAF, or expenses arising from the Foundation’s general operations. Precise costs will be identified in due course, in relation to the accounting year concerned.
