De Boomgaard Foundation
De Boomgaard Foundation was established on May 12, 2005 as a private grant-giving foundation by two philanthropists to support local and international causes we feel connected with.
It stands for:
- Increasing resilience of people, including refugee families and children
- Giving those with the least opportunities a fair share
- Advancing climate justice
- Promoting girls education and empowerment
- Supporting freedom of press and expression in Eastern Europe
- Local initiatives
Since 2006 the foundation has grown into a solid funding body with multiple partners. It has been ranked as public benefit organization and can make and receive tax-free donations. Its administration is limited to a minimum. Foundation De Boomgaard chooses initiatives, projects and people to collaborate with itself.
