The Foundation Max van der Stoel (FMS) is an independent foreign foundation affiliated to the PvdA. We work for democratisation in the EU's neighbouring countries, a fairer Dutch and EU policy towards the Global South, and we stimulate public debate on these issues in the Netherlands.
The FMS operates from a small-scale organisation of permanent staff and trainees. Our board has seven members, each with their own connection to our regions and themes.
You can become active for the Max van der Stoel Foundation by getting involved, writing for us or donating.
