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
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.
