Over the last decade, the Fondation has created 80 foundations accounting for 200 million in philanthropic engagements. The focus areas of these foundations are health and research, poverty and social cohesion, culture and diversity, universal education as well as biodiversity and climate change. While close to half of founders come from Luxembourg, the rest originate from all over Europe.
Fondation de Luxembourg supports and guides donors in their philanthropic engagements, acts as an expert and adviser for the donors’ projects and enables donors to set up a sheltered foundation under its aegis. This means that donors are able to set up foundations, which have their own legal personality, much faster and have the Fondation de Luxembourg take care of the administration of the foundation, while donors can focus all of their energy on their philanthropic projects.
