King Baudouin Foundation

The Foundation was set up in 1976, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of King Baudouin's accession to the throne,[1] and has been under the honorary Presidency of Queen Mathilde since 2015.

The King Baudouin Foundation Advisory Council and the Board of Governors determine the key areas of work.

KBF also organises debates on important social issues, shares research results through free publications, enters into partnerships, and encourages philanthropy, in Belgium, in Europe and at the international level.
