Adessium Foundation aspires to an open, democratic society, in which the availability of independent and factual information safeguards the public interest and encourages ethical behavior.

We support initiatives that target fact-finding, analytic journalism, public awareness, and advocacy. Adessium Foundation also supports organizations that serve to counterbalance private demands when the public interest is at stake.

Adessium Foundation aspires to a society that makes responsible use of nature and natural resources. Humanity’s dependence on healthy ecological systems is a central focus.

We help protect important natural areas and combat environmental exhaustion and pollution. Adessium Foundation also targets the responsible use and management of our oceans

Adessium Foundation aspires to a society that provides everyone with equal opportunities, with a focus on human dignity, selfsufficiency, and solidarity.

We support initiatives that provide assistance to people in vulnerable situations. We focus specifically on innovative solutions for shelter and guidance to help people escape poverty and isolation.

We strive for the highest possible social and civic returns per euro donated. We take a proactive approach, which means that we select our (potential) beneficiaries ourselves. Where possible, Adessium Foundation invests in multi-year partnerships with high quality implementing partners. Often the support is aimed at strengthening the organization, in order to allow for the partner to (also) achieve its institutional goals. Through active monitoring and conducting independent evaluations, we improve the quality of the partnerships and the impact of the work of beneficiaries.
