Mission and vision

The Viva Brava Foundation strives to offer help to as many people as possible by giving them a helping hand.
This help can be financial or other forms of resources to make the lives of these people a lot more bearable.

In addition, we want to let people know, no matter what situation they are in, never to lose hope because a miracle can happen at any moment.

The goal of the Viva Brava Foundation is:

• Promoting the well-being and well-being of residents by allowing them to experience life, by making wishes/needs/care come true.
• Acquiring contacts that can support the foundation's mission.
• Acquiring funds to finance and implement people's needs.
• Annually increasing the number of people's needs.
• Management and administration of benefits obtained from, among other things, donations or crowdfunding for the benefit of people.
• Continuous professionalization, optimization, improvement and renewal of the organization in order to continue the mission in the long term.

The foundation is not for profit and is dependent on contributions from third parties

The stated goals of the Viva Brava Foundation are achieved by:

• Generating domestic and international recognition in order to be able to fulfill as many needs of the people as possible.
• Cooperation with organizations, companies, institutions.
• Donations from individuals and companies.

• Sponsoring and donations from companies that support the mission of the foundation
• Gifts from individuals
• Subsidies
• Joining/organizing events related to the topic of needs in the broadest sense of the word.

The funds obtained from fundraising are initially placed in an account in the name of Stichting Viva Brava at ING in Rotterdam. These funds are then used to achieve the objectives.

In the event of dissolution, or if it appears that the foundation has achieved its objectives, the foundation can be dissolved. Any positive liquidation balance is spent on behalf of a public benefit institution with a similar objective or on behalf of a foreign institution that exclusively or almost exclusively aims at the public benefit and that has a similar objective.
