What we do

The DOEN Foundation’s aim is to add to the transition of a green and innovative economy where inspiring entrepreneurs contribute to a better world for people and the planet. These companies work actively to establish sustainable change in the whole production chain, from procurement to sales. To achieve impact financial profit is a precondition, not an end in itself.

The DOEN Foundation believes in a socially inclusive society in which everyone can participate. That is why we support initiatives that help vulnerable people (re)gain their place in society. A place where they can work, evolve and feel part of society. It will enhance peoples’ personal development and involvement with one another and their surroundings. DOEN always looks for social initiatives that show an entrepreneurial, creative and innovative approach.

Art and culture excite the imagination. They incite wonder, confrontation and connection and question seemingly undisputed truths. Artists are the engine of change, challenging people’s imagination to think beyond the existing order. In doing so, they reveal new perspectives. DOEN believes strongly in the power of imagination and supports art and culture initiatives in the Netherlands and abroad.
