Grants to Catholic missions, primarily through the supply of medicines until the expansion of local drug production.

Financial grants to universities and other research institutions to promote scientific research and training in the fields of pharmacology and pharmacy.

Financial contributions to the German Region of the Jesuits, a public corporation, for the promotion of ecclesiastical, scientific and charitable purposes.
