The funds of the Bethlen Gábor Fund are managed by the non-profit company Bethlen Gábor Alapkezelő Zrt., established in April 2011. The Gábor Bethlen Fund is a separate state fund, the purpose of which is to facilitate the realization of goals related to the Hungarian Government's national policy strategy. Its primary task is to provide support for the individual and community prosperity, material and spiritual growth of Hungarians living abroad in their homeland, and for the preservation of their culture. Its task is to operate a transparent application system for the purpose of using and efficiently distributing subsidies. With its activities, the Fund Manager contributes to the strengthening of the national consciousness of all Hungarians in the world, and to the nurturing of Hungarian-Hungarian relations.

In addition to cross-border education and training tenders, which affect more than 250,000 foreign beneficiaries: children and young people, the Fund Manager operates an open tendering system for natural and legal persons, municipalities, institutions, churches and civil organizations, and administers the evaluation of individual grant applications. In line with the Government's national political strategy, it supports organizations, institutions and programs of special national importance with invitations to tender, which place great emphasis on preserving the self-identity of Hungarians beyond the border.

The Gábor Bethlen Fund is coordinating the Magyarság Háza project. In the years to come, the House of Hungarianness will gradually become a national-cultural, cultural, educational, methodological, touristic and event centre that strengthens relations between Hungarian communities living within and outside the borders of Hungary and the development of a positive image of Hungarianness. The institution, which will be renovated in several phases, functions not only as a tourist and cultural centre, but also as an exhibition space, a centre for research into Hungarian studies and national politics, and a relevant teaching methodology centre. The National Policy Research Institute, established at the end of 2011, was established within the organizational framework of Gábor Bethlen Alapkezelő Zrt. in the House of Magyarság.
