Focus

Achmea Foundation

in brief

As a corporate foundation, our focus is on social impact. In this connection Achmea Foundation continuously evaluates its position and asks itself: how can we maximise our own impact? In 2019 our answer was to keep supporting projects that attract little investment or other support in the ordinary market. Our focus on highly innovative projects often puts us in the position of being one of the first investors. We support innovative initiatives in the areas of agriculture, healthcare and financial services. Through an ongoing critical search for a financially sustainable business model, we aim to produce a flywheel effect. This means that our support and investment can substantially accelerate the social impact that we aim to achieve. Our activities can be clustered into four programmes at home and abroad: Achmea Foundation Impact Fund, Expert Volunteer Assignments, Achmea Voor Elkaar and ImpactPlus.
