The focus of our Foundation is to fund scientific research into the causes of and solutions to the disease multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is literally and figuratively a nerve-racking disease that affects people in the prime of their lives. Thanks to our donors, we can invest approximately 3 million euros in research each year. We also provide information about (the consequences of) MS and the research we fund. Our Foundation stands for quality, integrity, reliability and connection and works purposefully. Donors know that their donation is well spent.

You can put yourself in the shoes of people who are affected by MS, themselves or in their immediate environment, and you identify opportunities and sensitivities and anticipate them.
