The VUB Chair of Social Entrepreneurship Invites you to become a funding partner

The Chair of Social Entrepreneurship at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel supports social entrepreneurs to realize their dreams. The mission of the Chair is to become an internationally recognized center of excellence through its scientific research and hands-on support of social entrepreneurs.

The original financial commitments in support of the Chair were until September 2020. We are happy to announce that Euroclear and Close the Gap are extending their support with 2 more years (2021 and 2022). In September 2021 we had the pleasure to welcome The National Bank of Belgium to our founding partners. With their support we will be able to continue and increase our support to social entrepreneurs in Belgium and abroad. But we are looking for additional chair partners. For the continuation of the Chair, we need a commitment of 20.000 EUR per year for a period of two years. If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss terms.

With your support, we will be able to increase our outreach in support of social entrepreneurs, and thus contribute to making this world a better place. Thanks in advance!
