King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS)

WHO WE ARE STAFF BOARD & BOARD COMMITTEES OUR PARENT FOUNDATION LEGAL & FINANCIAL INFORMATION JOIN OUR MONTHLY E-NEWS FIRST NAME LAST NAME EMAIL WHO WE ARE The King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS) understands that philanthropy is about personal stories. And sometimes, these stories take us beyond our borders. Since opening our offices as a 501(c)(3) public charity in 2002, we have served as a knowledgeable bridge between American donors and nonprofits overseas. We work with individuals, families, corporations and foundations and help them support their favorite causes and organizations, anywhere in Europe or Africa – whether it’s a children’s hospital in Egypt, a research institute in Belgium, a business school in Kenya, or an art museum in Italy. We craft personalized solutions for one-time gifts, recurring donations through donor-advised funds, planned giving with legacy funds, and gifts of artworks to museums overseas. In addition to our work with donors, we also partner with European and African nonprofits. With an American friends fund at KBFUS, they can receive tax-deductible gifts from U.S. donors, while saving the trouble and expense of setting up their own charity in the United States. Over the past 3 years, KBFUS has facilitated over $50 million in gifts, reaching almost every corner of Europe and Africa. Flexible. Reliable. Knowledgeable. This is KBFUS – the leading resource for philanthropic giving to Europe and Africa. ……………….. MISSION Our mission is to facilitate thoughtful, effective giving to Europe and Africa. VISION Our vision is to be the leading resource for philanthropic giving to Europe and Africa. Building on the longstanding grantmaking tradition of our Brussels-based parent foundation, we aim to act as a bridge between American donors and nonprofits overseas, providing them with knowledge, expertise and access to a vast network of local partners. VALUES We are committed to – integrity and transparency – excellence, creativity and flexibility – diversity and inclusiveness
