The main source of the Academy’s income is the yield from its own funds, created principally through donations and bequests from individuals interested in the aims of the Academy. Many funds are subject to conditions which restrict the use of the income to certain well-defined purposes.
The function of the Academy is mainly to administer and distribute revenues available. In all, the funds of the Academy amount at present to a considerable sum of money. In addition, there is the Fund for the Humanities, created in 1928. This is administered by a special board, but the yearly income from the fund is placed at the disposal of the Academy. It might be added that fund revenues are continuously incremented by donations from indiviuals and institutions interested in the activities of the Academy.
