Social involvement
As well as striving at all times to be a fair and responsible employer, we are also committed to adding social value.
Involvement
As the longest-established Liechtenstein bank, we have close ties with the Principality of Liechtenstein and its people. Our donations and various sponsorship activities strengthen and underscore these ties. We sponsor cultural, social and sporting events and causes – our way of giving something back to the people of Liechtenstein.
The Future Foundation of the Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG
On 5 December 1861, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank was founded as the "Zins- und Credit-Landes-Anstalt im souverainen Fürstenthume Liechtenstein" (National Interest and Credit Institution in the Sovereign Principality of Liechtenstein).
On the occasion of its 150th anniversary in 2011, which was celebrated under the motto "150 Years of Looking Forward", the LLB established the "Future Foundation of the Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG". The purpose of this foundation is to provide targeted funding for social and environmental projects with a visionary impact.
Funding in the social sphere is awarded especially to projects that provide a sustainable improvement to the living and working conditions of people and that strengthen their individual responsibility. In the environmental sphere, special importance is attached to environmental sustainability. The Future Foundation is primarily active in Liechtenstein and Eastern Switzerland.
The Future Foundation is a member of the Association of Liechtenstein Charitable Foundations (VLGS), which aims to promote the vision of entrepreneurial philanthropy.
Funding opportunities for individuals and organisations
The Future Foundation supports solely activities and projects which generate a significant impact in the social and environmental fields. In doing so, it focuses on persons and organisations which serve as role models and whose activities on behalf of the community are effective and successful.
