According to the memorandum of association, which became effective on 29 September 1990, the main objective of the foundation was to support Hungarian communities living beyond the borders and the Hungarian community living in dispersion, with the following main tasks: 1. initiatives aimed at the preservation, development and strengthening of the self-identity of Hungarians living beyond the borders; 2. initiatives for the cultivation and development of the mother tongue; 3. scientific work concerning Hungarians living beyond the borders; 4. the improvement of material and personal conditions of religious life in the mother tongue and; 5. cultural presentations of Hungarian minorities living beyond the borders. As of 1 January 1994, the Foundation became a public foundation (Illy\u00e9s Public Foundation (Illy\u00e9s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny &#8211; IKA)) and was entrusted with certain public functions by the government. On 31 August 1994, Illy\u00e9s Public Foundation (Illy\u00e9s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny &#8211; IKA) and the K\u00e9zfog\u00e1s Livelihood-Generating and Economic Stimulation Foundation established by it (in 1992) to help Hungarians living beyond the borders were merged, and in March 1995 it was spun off from the Illy\u00e9s Public Foundation (Illy\u00e9s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny &#8211; IKA) as the New Engagement Foundation (\u00daj K\u00e9zfog\u00e1s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny). This was when the sub-curatorial system (of sub-boards) was set up through which the Foundation institutionally involved representatives of the communities concerned in its decision-making process. The Board of Trustees of the Illy\u00e9s Public Foundation (Illy\u00e9s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny &#8211; IKA) (11-19 members from the parliamentary parties and representatives of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Education and Culture) has earmarked funds from the annual budget to support Hungarian communities in neighbouring countries. The sub-boards, which were emphatically defined by Hungarian minority interest organisations, were given a mandate to propose the further distribution of these funds. The activities of the sub-boards covered all the different areas of support (culture, public culture, education, science, religious and professional organisations, local municipalities, etc.). With the participation of the relevant minority institutions in Slovakia, Romania and Serbia the sub-boards were backed up by specialised bodies (with 40-50 members in the three regions). In Ukraine and Serbia only the sub-boards existed. Thus a total of about 300 people were involved in the preparation of decisions. In 2006, in order to make aid policy more effective and referring to the new Homeland Programme, the Gyurcs\u00e1ny government abolished the Illy\u00e9s Public Foundation (Illy\u00e9s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny &#8211; IKA), which was replaced by the Homeland Fund without the sub-curatorial system. The Board of Trustees of the Illy\u00e9s Public Foundation (Illy\u00e9s K\u00f6zalap\u00edtv\u00e1ny &#8211; IKA) was chaired by S\u00e1ndor Cso\u00f3ri (1990-1994), M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Sz\u0171r\u00f6s (1994-1998), J\u00f3zsef Halzl (1998-2002) and B\u00e9la Pomog\u00e1ts (2002-2006).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","kezdobetu":[421],"nyelv":[371],"szerzo":[373],"class_list":["post-17409","reo-szocikk","type-reo-szocikk","status-publish","hentry","kezdobetu-i-2","nyelv-en","szerzo-bardi-nandor-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reo-szocikk\/17409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reo-szocikk"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reo-szocikk"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reo-szocikk\/17409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kezdobetu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kezdobetu?post=17409"},{"taxonomy":"nyelv","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nyelv?post=17409"},{"taxonomy":"szerzo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/szerzo?post=17409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
