Learning from Grantees. Survey of the organisations and individuals that received support during the period from 2015 to 2017

An online survey asked 2,320 organisations and individuals about their collaboration with the King Baudouin Foundation. In the second half of March 2018, the survey contacted every grantee who received support from the King Baudouin Foundation between 2015 and 2017. The response rate was 56 percent, which is representative. Through their initiatives, grantees mainly make changes within their own target group and in their own organisation. About two out of three grantees use the support to carry out a special activity in addition to their existing activities. KBF is therefore acting as a driver of organisational renewal. A grant does not need to be large to facilitate renewal in society.Grantees are satisfied with the application procedure and the administrative processing of their request for support. For many grantees, six working hours is enough to write a (successful) application. When carrying out an initiative, an average of eleven working hours are needed for activities that KBF requires from the grantee.
