Grantmaking

As an active funding foundation, we support organizations and initiatives throughout Europe that offer innovative solutions and approaches to the major social challenges of our time. Our goal is to ensure that these organizations and initiatives are sustainably and permanently anchored in their respective fields of activity.

As a supra-regional funding foundation, we use social risk capital to facilitate experiments and boost their dissemination in civil society.  We work with and support civil society organizations as they grow – acting as a complement and counterbalance to public and private sector players.  We place considerable emphasis on a clearly defined methodology which involves: promoting entrepreneurship, learning by doing, networking stakeholders, creating transparency.
