United Fund for Belgium is a Belgian non-profit organisation. Its mission is to help people in need by financing the projects of charities in Belgium, thanks to donations collected from companies and individuals. UFB’s objective is to improve social integration in Belgium by investing in material projects that have a direct impact on the beneficiaries. In addition, we favour projects that can be financed in their entirety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

United Fund for Belgium aims to limit exclusion by contributing to social integration, because a society worthy of the name must offer equal opportunities to as many people as possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the 2019-2020 campaign, our action thus raised \u20ac 772,000 which was used to support 81 different associations in Belgium. We would like to remind you that United Fund for Belgium does not make the money directly available to the beneficiaries, but that we reimburse the expenses incurred, on the bank account of the non-profit organisation, when the selected project is successfully completed. UFB only reimburses invoices issued after notification of acceptance of the financial support. Invoices dated prior to this approval will therefore not be accepted.<\/p>\n

Applications can be submitted throughout the year. The time between the submission of your application and the actual release of funds can take approximately one year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our social integration process includes all generations, people with disabilities, as well as people from all socio-economic backgrounds. We also help Belgian companies wishing to support social causes to get in touch with one or more local projects. In this way, we enable donors, volunteers and their stakeholders to have a concrete and sustainable social impact and to create a sense of community at the local level.<\/p>\n

Projects of a cultural, political or religious nature are therefore automatically excluded from our field of intervention. Similarly, we do not fund state-funded organisations such as schools, associations receiving public funds or hospitals.<\/p>\n

Nor does finance major construction or renovation projects. Neither do we intervene for organisations that are themselves engaged in major fundraising.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
