Celebrated on 1 October, European Foundations and Donors Day highlights the key role of the foundation sector in building fairer, more inclusive and innovative societies. By supporting projects, funding initiatives and mobilising communities, foundations act as true agents of change, driving progress and collective well-being.

As part of the day’s celebrations, Margarida Couto, CEO of the Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation, will take part in an event organised by the Portuguese Centre for Foundations, contributing to the debate on the impact and future challenges of foundations in Portugal.

In this context, the Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation reaffirms its commitment to being an active participant in this transformation, investing in education and the promotion of human rights as a means to achieving a more just and inclusive society.

On European Foundations Day, we renew our commitment to making a difference and to working together towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
