In addition to our socially responsible activities in the region, VDL Group has had its own charitable foundation called VDL Foundation for some time. This foundation focuses on social projects in the field of care and well-being.

In 2022, VDL Foundation contributed to Stichting De Zonnebloem, an organization dedicated to helping people with physical disabilities by enabling social and recreational activities. They started with wheelchair bikes, allowing guests (people with physical disabilities who use a wheelchair) to enjoy a bike outing in their own wheelchair. Additionally, in 2022, VDL Foundation supported other organizations as well. Some examples include Stichting Kinderen van de Voedselbank, which was able to distribute 100 clothing packages to children living below the poverty line and using the Food Bank in Limburg. Another initiative is Soup & Co, a volunteer project where soup is prepared and handed out for free to those in need. This project collaborates with the street pastor in Eindhoven and is connected to the church's drop-in center for homeless and vulnerable people.

VDL Foundation also supported Stichting Oekraïners in Nederland by purchasing 100 so-called Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs), which are distributed to, for example, paramedics and journalists in the war zone in Ukraine.

Furthermore, VDL Foundation contributed to Big Smile for a Child, a non-profit organization that ensures children with disabilities to have a special day, and to Kickit, a form of football that everyone can participate in. To play Kickit, the 'football launcher' AmiGo is used, a device that can be attached to any wheelchair and allows balls to be picked up, held, shot at different speeds, and taken away from opponents.

Finally, VDL Foundation along with ASML donated a refrigerated truck to Stichting Springplank, which provides shelter and support for the homeless and those without a home in Eindhoven, as well as refugees from Ukraine. With the help of the refrigerated truck, hundreds of meals are delivered daily to various reception sites in the city.
