ctivity Report
Campaign 2012 - 2013
Editorial
For over 40 years now, United Fund for Belgium has
been helping underprivileged persons in every part of
our country.
The key characteristics of our action are:
volunteers who give their time and the corporations that help us in kind, and,
on the other hand, by resorting to alternative ways to cover these expenses,
including: an endowment fund the proceeds of which help cover part of the
costs; the organization of some events; and the receipt of certain donations
made by friends of UFB for this specific purpose. To our knowledge, this 100%
pass-through is unique in Belgium and we know from our donors that it is a very
important factor in their decision to help those in need through UFB.
 E very euro that we collect through our
fundraising campaign is redistributed to the
social organizations we help (100% pass-through).
We collect funds from more than 100 different companies and many individuals
None of it is used to finance our own costs.
every year, and their continued generosity in the midst of this long and painful
 We support social organizations by financing specific projects which
economic crisis, which has been hitting disproportionally the most vulnerable
provide value to them and the persons they help, focusing in particular on:
people in Belgium, has been heartening.
• child welfare
• support of handicapped children and adults,
• relief of poverty, and
• social integration and job training of vulnerable persons.
 We finance projects from all regions and provinces in Belgium in a
balanced way, based on a rigorous review of each association and project,
with at least one of the members of our Allocations Committee visiting every
association prior to approval of any funding to it. We disburse the funds on
the basis of invoices for work done by the association, which helps make
sure the financial help is used as had been anticipated. This helps all of us,
because our donors know they can trust the way in which their donations are
used.
 We help different associations every year (associations must, as a rule,
wait 3 years to request our help again). This means that we know a large
number of social organizations in Belgium and they know us, too. We have
built mutual trust. We try to help them in a way that maximizes the benefits
to them and those they support painstakingly every day of the year.
Thank you - YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I want to pay tribute to the great values of these corporate and individual donors,
who have not retreated even as they sometimes faced their own budgetary
constraints.
Thanks to this generosity, we will be able to finance over 80 projects this past
year for an amount of about €710,000. Several of these projects are illustrated
in this activity report or on our website and I encourage you to read about them,
because they are the very reason for UFB’s existence. You can be proud about the
role you have played in making them a reality.
This is what makes UFB unique. Whether you are a social organization supported
by UFB, one of UFB’s loyal donors, a volunteer who dedicates time to help us, or
a member of the small but fantastic team that makes UFB work, you are all part
of something really special. And I want to thank you sincerely for it, on behalf of
all those whose lives you have helped change for the better.
Thank you for the difference you have been making. Let’s work together to do
even better this coming year.
How are we are able to pass through all of the donations from the campaign?
On the one hand, by keeping our operating expenses low, thanks to the many

Kick Off Campaign 2012-2013
Kick-Off at the Residence of the
US Ambassador in Brussels, October 2012
25 October 2012 marked the official beginning of the 2012/2013
campaign. The Honorable Howard Gutman, US Ambassador to Belgium,
and his wife warmly welcomed more than 100 friends and donors.
Every year, a special charitable project is put in the spotlight and this
time Villa Rozenrood was invited. Villa Rozenrood is a home offering
respite, care and vacation for very ill children and their families. With the
help of UFB, they will be able to build a new kitchen in accordance with
the required standards.

hat is your company’s vision on Corporate
W
Social Responsibility?
When conducting our business, we try to do
something back for the local community we
operate in. We want to do this in a way that
is voluntary and outside of our commercial
operations. Our Philanthropy policy is based
upon two main pillars: to help the less
privileged in our society and to support the
Arts. Through UFB, we can bring our employees
in touch with organizations that need our help.
Corporate Social Responsibility is crucial
to how we fulfill our role as a major global
financial institution. At BNY Mellon, we are
invested in our people, market integrity and
our world. Our clients trust us every day with
their investments, and we depend on our
talented and diverse workforce to meet client
needs with the highest standards of excellence
and integrity. That’s why it’s important that we
build an inclusive and supportive environment
where our people are empowered to contribute
and succeed. Together, we can contribute to
the resiliency of global markets and solutions
for some of the world’s most pressing issues,
building healthy economies and sustainable
communities over time.
ow does UFB fit in this CSR vision, and how
H
do you support UFB?
Our philanthropic activities aim to improve
people’s lives by supporting local organizations
who try to help underprivileged people. This
often includes partnering with organizations
such as UFB, with whom we support several
charities throughout Belgium. Each charity
has an internal Philanthropic Ambassador, a
JTI employee who serves as coordinator with
the project and looks into the needs of its
association.
ow do you make this support visible within
H
your company? If so, how?
Since 2009, we have also a global volunteering
policy in force. We believe that it’s very important
that our members of staff make their own
personal contribution to society by working as
volunteers. Volunteering also helps to enhance
the personal development in terms of teamwork
and leadership. This is why we are encouraging
our members of staff, and we are giving them
the opportunity, to work during their working
hours as volunteers for local charities.
ow does UFB fit in this CSR vision, and how
H
do you support UFB?
We support UFB through a yearly financial
contribution.
What is the activity of your company?
Beobank is a retail bank.
hat is your company’s vision on Corporate
W
Social Responsibility?
It’s a business’ responsibility to be an active
social member in the community.
We think that each company has the social
responsibility to play a role in helping the
charities in a way or another. We think this
really creates value from which everyone can
benefit.
ow does UFB fit in this CSR vision, and how
H
do you support UFB?
UFB is our selected partner for our CSR program.
We support UFB both financially (a regular
company donation and we also match the
donations made by the staff) and logistically
(providing meeting rooms). Also, our staff can
apply for one day voluntary work per year in a
charity selected by UFB.
ow do you make this support visible within

your company? If so, how?
Yes, via internal communications and postings
on our Intranet.
ow do you make this support visible within

No, because we put the emphasis on our

verdeeld over 12 leefgroepen.
Daarnaast beschikken we ook over een
dagcentrum (Horizon) voor volwassenen
met een matig, ernstig of diep verstandelijke

Le futur simple
Le Futur Simple est une E.F.T. (Entreprise
de Formation par le Travail) qui a pour objet
d’assurer la formation professionnelle de
personnes en difficultés d’insertion en recourant
à une pédagogie spécifique. Celle-ci repose
sur l’accomplissement d’un travail productif,
assorti d’une formation théorique adaptée,
l’accompagnement psychosocial permanent et
l’individualisation du projet dans ses dimensions
professionnelles, personnelles et sociales et
ce au bénéfice de chaque stagiaire. Le public
accueilli est très éloigné de l’emploi.
Nous sommes actifs dans deux secteurs
d’activité, le premier est celui de l’Horeca/
