Local Initiatives
Strong local connections form the basis for a caring society.
There are so many local initiatives in which the warm generosity of people helps build close and genuine connections. They are the glue that binds a strong society and the best remedy against polarisation.
As a Foundation, we wish to reach out to, support and bring together these projects, their initiators and their participants in all corners of our country. That way, we can breathe life into this crucial social fabric, bolstered by in-depth insight into what it is that people truly need. In doing so, we ensure that not a single citizen is overlooked, because at the local level too, every individual matters.
Local in brief
- The local reflex: where relevant, we transpose a programme or project to the local level.
- Build and strengthen a network of satellites to encourage the development of local funds.
