Van Lanschot Kempen Foundation

Supporting community projects for a better tomorrow

Founded in 2016, the Van Lanschot Kempen Foundation is a charity that supports community projects for a better world for future generations. The Foundation puts to work financial donations and volunteering time as well as the knowledge of our colleagues, network and clients. Our employees are also able to seek donations for social projects in which they are personally involved. The Van Lanschot Kempen Foundation has ANBI status.

    Our focus themes

    We focus on five social themes in the countries in which Van Lanschot Kempen has an office and employees.  

    1. Sustainable living environment

    Our overarching theme and a key priority for our colleagues, contributing to a sustainable living environment connects us with the Sustainable Development Goals.

    2. Financial education

    We put the wealth of our colleagues' financial knowledge to work in educational projects relating to education, employment, pensions, insurance and mortgages.

    3. Cultural education

    We think it’s important to contribute to the preservation and creation of our cultural heritage for people who don’t have easy access to it.

    4. Healthier living

    We raise awareness for social healthcare by using our extensive network and expertise in the healthcare sector.

    5. Social cohesion through sport

    Encouraging interaction between different social groups through playing sport is an important way to contribute to a healthy society – both physically and mentally.
