Together we go for a warm neighbourhood
Brussels Airport aims to be more than an airport. Creating connections between people, businesses, and communities is our mission. That’s why we have supported initiatives with a positive impact on the surrounding area for many years.
Since 2023, we have done so through the Brussels Airport Fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation. This independent fund gives local organisations the opportunity each year to apply for support for sustainable projects around a changing theme. An independent jury selects which projects are awarded.
Between 2023 and 2025, 42 projects have already received our support (18 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 11 in 2025).
New call for projects in spring 2026
The next call for projects supported by the Brussels Airport Fund will be launched in spring 2026. Local associations with ideas to make their neighbourhood greener, more social, or stronger will once again be able to apply.
Applications can be submitted via the website of the King Baudouin Foundation.
