Together We Create a Special World! The Women Empowerment Foundation is an umbrella foundation based in The Netherlands and devoted solely to empower women and raise funds for charitable purposes. It supports and encourages social, charitable, cultural, and other philanthropic projects. It has no political or religious affiliation.
The foundation was designed to bring like-minded women under one roof for the purpose of empowering them trough our programs, lift their self esteem, enhance their social circle, help them promote them selves and their business as they organize charitable work through fun and effective networking events as means to give back to the community.
Our philosophy started with the concept of pageantry, most pageants around the world support a good cause with the purpose of providing wide visibility to social issues that affect us all; as the number of pageants increases in The Netherlands our foundation serves as umbrella to these initiatives and the gateway to help them reach our community.
What is an umbrella foundation?
Umbrella foundations frequently have an extremely broad purpose. As the name suggests, the purpose cover as many big areas of philanthropy as possible, and in that way create an ‘umbrella’ over a large number of ‘sub-purposes’.
The Umbrella Foundation concept is a relatively young type of charitable foundation, which links a number of initiatives and good cause by combining the assets of various individuals and pooling them for management underneath one larger organization. The umbrella foundation can operate in cooperation with volunteers, sponsors, existing foundations or government institutions. By combining their assets, they keep administration, operation and management costs low and optimize results. Thereby the charitable organization or initiative taker that joins the group receives greater support, hence making the umbrella foundation a better way of doing good.
