Goals / Remit
The King Baudouin Foundation's mission is to contribute to a better society in Belgium, in Europe and in the world.
The Foundation is an actor for change and innovation in Belgium and Europe, serving the public interest and increasing social cohesion. It seeks to maximise its impact by improving skills in organisations and for individuals. It also stimulates effective philanthropy by individuals and corporations.
The Foundation’s most important values are integrity and transparency, promoting solidarity, respect for diversity, pluralism and independence.
Our vision for the future is to anchor our activities in Belgium on every level, to continue to put the KBF on the map in Europe and to become a significant player in cross-border philanthropy internationally - with the help of our KBF family: KBFUS and KBF Canada and through our partnership with Give2Asia.
The King Baudouin Foundation was set up in 1976, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of King Baudouin's reign.Main EU files targeted

Meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
