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 also connects us with the three sustainability focus areas that Van Lanschot Kempen is committed to: climate, biodiversity, and inclusion & diversity.

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 believe it is important to contribute to the preservation and development of our cultural heritage for those who have less access to it.

4. Healthier living
Raising awareness for appropriate care, focusing on health rather than illness, and paying attention to the emotional and social aspects of well-being.

5. Social cohesion through sport
Interaction through sport among different social groups is an important way to contribute to a physically and mentally healthy society.
