من نحن

The SENSE Foundation Brussels supports impactful initiatives led by non-profit organizations operating within Belgium and internationally. This program provides one-off grants of up to €25,000 to advance scientific research, environmental protection, sustainable development, and health improvements—with a specific emphasis on genetics and nutrition. The funding scope extends to educational scholarships, arts and culture, and the promotion of inclusion, equality, and diversity, including dedicated support for women in STEM and minorities. Additionally, the Foundation offers charitable assistance for individuals experiencing temporary hardship. Grants are designed to cover a maximum of 25% of the total annual project cost, including staff expenses, with an allowance of up to 10% for overhead. While most funding is awarded as a single contribution, multi-year support may be considered for university-related student programs.
