Main points of the policy plan

The Goldschmeding Foundation for People, Work and Economy works towards an inclusive and sustainable society based on the conviction that a better world can be created when people serve each other’s interests. The Foundation pursues this goal by providing financial gifts and non-financial support for the implementation of innovative practical projects and excellent scientific research. The Foundation uses a proactive approach and approaches and selects its partners itself. The Goldschmeding Foundation for People, Work and Economy is a capital fund and does not pursue an active fundraising policy.
