Why is the new foundation being named after their daughter and not after the Crown Princess Couple themselves?

My question is who will fund this organization?
I feel that royals must be careful in setting up and establishing organizations and foundations. Funding is not easy and many times wealthy donors have murky backgrounds and or ulterior motives.
Press release from The County Administrative Board of Östergötland
The County's Duchess is eight years old
On Sunday, Princess Estelle will be eight years old. Governor Carl Fredrik Graf congratulates by inviting the princess to visit her duchy.
On February 23, Princess Estelle will be eight years old. For the past six years, the princess has received charms for a bracelet she received on her first birthday. The charms have represented the province's symbols swan, pike, bare-toothed russula, floating liverwort, hermit beetle and ash leaf. The bracelet itself is linked by a cornflower - Östergötland's province flower.
Now that the bracelet is complete, the County Administrative Board of Östergötland takes a new grip and invites in a telegram from the governor the duchess to the county.
"It is an honor for us in Östergötland to have Princess Estelle as our Duchess and we are very proud of the fine fairy tale path on Tåkern's beach which bears the Princess's name. The fairy tale path is an appreciated element among big and small visitors to the nature area and its surroundings. We welcome the princess to discover more of what our county has to offer in the near future", writes Governor Carl Fredrik Graf in the telegram.
Princess Estelle is the sixth royal to have Östergötland as her duchy. Previously, there are two dukes of Östergötland in the Bernadotte family: Oskar II and Prince Carl. Previously Magnus Vasa (son of Gustav Vasa), Johan Vasa (son of Johan III) and Fredrik Adolf (son of Adolf Fredrik) were also dukes of Östergötland.
Princess Estelle
Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary was born on February 23, 2012 as the first child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. Thus, Princess Estelle is the second in the succession to her mother.
In connection with the Council of State at the Royal Palace the day after the birth, King Carl Gustaf announced the princess's name and that she became Duchess of Östergötland.
At the Tåkern Naturum there is a 700 meter long fairy tale path bearing Princess Estelle's name. The path is a gift from the county that was handed over by the then governor Elisabeth Nilsson at the princess's christening. The path was inaugurated by the princess herself on May 17, 2014, which was the princess's first official visit to the county. At Linköping Castle there is also a salon that bears the princess's name. Since 2012, there is also a pastry from Östergötland, which was dedicated to Princess Estelle after a pastry competition.

Estelle truly reflects the synergy of Sweden, [...] No polite clapping and 'Oh, good show' for this princess, but rather smiling, grinning,cheering loudly cheering and jumping and down and waving flags. It's a full body sport and nobody does it better!
