Fundraising is key for non-profits so we were thrilled to bring together our ecosystem to share expertise and insights.   A special thank you to Céline Rancoule, Fundraising Director from Chemins d'avenirs, DPF Award Laureate 2023, for her intervention during the event.   It was an enriching half-day filled with sharing experiences, best practices, and identifying solutions to common challenges.   The cherry on top? A walking lunch that provided the opportunity for creating synergies.   Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success! Let’s continue sharing and collaborating to build a stronger ecosystem.   #DegroofPetercamFoundation #DegroofPetercam #SocialInnovation #Fundraising 

🎙️ 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬! Anne-Sophie Pype is featured on BXFM’s podcast, sharing findings from a recent survey on reconciling parenthood and work, initiated by #DegroofPetercamFoundation, that received 180,000 responses across Wallonia, Brussels and Flanders. Key highlights from the discussion include: • 40% 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 compared to 12% of men, primarily to care for their children. • The survey revealed 660 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐬, focusing on three main areas: 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬. • One striking point was 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 in the French Community, where only 4 out of 10 children have a spot in childcare. This issue forces many parents, especially women, to make tough choices, impacting their careers and finances. 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 include organizing workshops in November to co-construct three concrete projects. These projects will be activated with other stakeholders in 2025.
