The Foundation is an actor for #change and #innovation in #Belgium, #Europe, and the rest of the world, serving the public interest and increasing social cohesion. It seeks to maximise its impact by improving skills in organisations and for individuals. It also stimulates effective #philanthropy by individuals and corporations.
