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
