About the organisation
The King Baudouin Foundation is a public benefit foundation. Its Mission is working together for a better society. The King Baudouin Foundation supports projects and citizens with a commitment to build a better society. It looks for sustainable ways of bringing about justice, democracy and respect for diversity. The King Baudouin Foundation is independent and pluralistic. It was established in 1976 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of King Baudouin’s reign.
