FrieslandCampina Donations Foundation
In 2023, we established the FrieslandCampina Donations Foundation to support communities in times of need, through disaster relief, recovery, and long-term resilience. The Foundation allows us to provide ongoing financial support where it matters most, in collaboration with trusted humanitarian partners.
Supporting Resilient Communities
For over 150 years, we’ve nourished people around the world. But our responsibility goes beyond nutrition. Building resilient communities means standing by people before, during, and after crises, offering meaningful support that helps them adapt and grow stronger.
The Donations Foundation plays a key role in this mission, providing financial aid to organisations that help communities respond to emergencies and prepare for future challenges. This includes our long-term collaboration with the Netherlands Red Cross and other impactful initiatives.
Five Years of Impact
In 2023, we launched a five-year global partnership with the Dutch Red Cross to support humanitarian response and strengthen community resilience. Our partnership goes beyond emergency aid, it focuses on prevention, preparedness, and sustainable recovery. Together, we’re already making a difference:
- Food Aid in the Netherlands – Supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity
- Hot Meals in the Philippines – Operating mobile food trucks to feed disaster-affected communities
- Nature-Based Solutions – Strengthening coastal defences and protecting ecosystems
- Relief in Vietnam – Helping communities recover after Typhoon Yagi
This collaboration reflects our shared belief that meaningful change takes time, and that long-term commitment leads to lasting impact.
"Behind every meal, every shelter, and every act of support is a story of hope. Our five-year partnership with the Red Cross reflects our belief that real progress comes with commitment. "
Funding Our Mission
The FrieslandCampina Donations Foundation is funded primarily through an annual contribution from FrieslandCampina. We also welcome donations from employees, member dairy farmers, customers, and partners. Occasionally, the Foundation engages in commercial activities that generate additional resources to further its goals.
