New call for proposals from Brussels Airport Fund

Brussels Airport’s mission is to connect people, businesses and communities. We do this by, among other things, further expanding our role as a multimodal hub for the region and the entire country.

But we also want to fulfil our social responsibilities on a local level. That is why, in 2023, we established the Brussels Airport Fund in collaboration with the King Baudouin Foundation. Through this fund, we support local projects that strengthen social cohesion and/or focus on nature and the environment, energy and mobility.

Third call for proposals

Every year in May, the fund issues a call for proposals aimed at organisations and associations from the 18 municipalities in the airport region. They can apply for financial support ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 euros, for a total budget of €100,000.

Candidates can submit a motivated application for support before 17 September 2025. Details are available here.

A few examples of projects that received support

Since the fund was established, 31 organisations have received financial support, totalling €264,000.

One of the projects realised after the first call in 2023 is 'Veloveutwie,' developed by the non-profit organisation De Hulster in collaboration with the municipality of Kortenberg. This side-by-side tandem bike project promotes sustainable mobility, with a particular focus on less mobile residents of the municipality. Through the Fund, an electric side-by-side tandem bike was purchased, giving volunteer drivers the ability to take vulnerable residents on rides and fostering social bonds within the community. 

Last year, the 'Repair Café' in Evere also benefited from financial support. Every month local residents can go there to repair broken appliances and objects with assistance and advice from volunteers. With the Fund's support, the Repair Café was able to purchase new repair tools.
