The Maecenata Foundation is an independent think tank focusing on civil society, civic engagement, philanthropy and the foundation sector.

Civil society thrives on people who want to make a difference. Whether they get involved, give their time, donate money or come up with new ideas: every contribution counts. We support civil society and strengthen its capacity to act. By researching its foundations. By sharing insights and sparking debate. By facilitating philanthropic engagement across borders.

After all, an open, democratic society needs a vibrant civil society.
