Stichting Wilde Ganzen
National non-governmental organisation. Based in: Netherlands. Active at least since 2021. Main sector: human rights and democracy.
The Wilde Ganzen Foundation is a Dutch NGO, founded in 1957 with a mission to reduce poverty and inequality through community-led initiatives. We support community-based organisations in the Global South and their Dutch fundraising partners in joint efforts to achieve a better future because we believe communities should have control over their own development. The Wilde Ganzen Foundation utilizes more than 60 years of operational experience in international development to promote responsible philanthropy. We support social changemakers that are taking on initiatives to fight inequality. We do this through grantmaking, in-depth technical assistance, expertise and our on-the-ground networks.
