Euroclear Foundation

Building resilient communities together.

Euroclear has a long-standing tradition of corporate giving, powered by a vibrant community of volunteers across our group. With the launch of our corporate foundation in 2024, we take this commitment further - backed by dedicated funding and guided by our DNA as a trusted infrastructure at the heart of financial markets. We believe our presence should make communities stronger.

Talent can come from anywhere, but opportunity doesn't always follow.

That’s why the Euroclear Foundation focuses on young people in underserved communities - those who face the steepest barriers to education, employment and belonging.

We believe that investing in youth unlocks a powerful multiplier: when young people are empowered to reach their full potential, they not only shape better futures for themselves, but also strengthen their families and communities.

By addressing the root causes of inequality and fostering sustainable ecosystems through systems thinking and collective action, we help build communities that are more resilient, inclusive and ready to thrive.

How we help

Partnering with changemakers

We support nonprofits working to improve educational continuity, connect with NEET youth, and build pathways from skills to employment. This includes initiatives that foster life skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and personal agency - empowering young people to shape their own futures and thrive in their communities.

Support beyond funding

Our commitment goes beyond grants. We offer mentorship, strategic guidance and capacity-building through Euroclear’s talent - helping nonprofit leaders grow with experience and confidence. From financial management to scaling operations, we stand beside them on their journey.

Driving systemic change together

We work collaboratively across the sector to uncover root causes, remove barriers and co-create innovative solutions. By applying systems thinking and fostering resilient ecosystems, we aim to eliminate the most pressing issues holding youth and communities back.

 

About us

The Euroclear Foundation was incorporated in Belgium at the end of 2024 as an independent corporate foundation, funded by an annual social dividend based on the Euroclear Group’s net profit.

We work through the power of partnerships - with nonprofits, funders and communities - to create lasting, inclusive impact wherever we operate, so that no one is left behind.

At Euroclear, we connect people to purpose: our employees are encouraged to contribute their time, skills and energy to support the Foundation’s mission.

Our core beliefs

  • Sustainable impact requires innovation and collaboration with locally anchored partners.
  • Digital and AI-enabled solutions help us reach more people effectively.
  • A systems-thinking approach is essential to uncover new pathways for equity and social mobility.

Our funding principles

The Euroclear Foundation supports registered nonprofit organisations that foster inclusive, resilient communities. We partner only with entities that uphold the highest standards of integrity and public trust. As part of our commitment to equity, we do not fund political lobbying, grants to individuals, or organisations that engage in discriminatory practices. We seek collaborators whose values reflect our belief in dignity, diversity and opportunity for all.
