Encouraging philanthropy
Facilitating philanthropy in Belgium, Europe and elsewhere in the world.
When citizens, civil society organisations or businesses contribute to initiatives in the public interest, they are participating in a long tradition of helping humanity to progress - namely philanthropy. Their activities fulfil an indispensable and innovative role that is complementary to that of government bodies, voluntary associations and the private sector that work for civil society. Encouraging and facilitating such philanthropy in Belgium, Europe and elsewhere in the world lies at the heart of the missions undertaken by the King Baudouin Foundation.
