Join in and help support a good cause.
A fixed percentage of the revenues of © Gaudí Real Estate - per assignment, transaction, or any other pay-out - will be dedicated to one of the charities below.
The charities below have been chosen near to my personal interests, but which of these charities you wish to support is your choice to make as my Client, as part of our agreement.
Sagrada Família.
About.
The Sagrada Família is a one-of-a-kind temple, for its origins, foundation and purpose. Fruit of the work of genius architect Antoni Gaudí, the project was promoted by the people for the people. Five generations now have watched the Temple progress in Barcelona. Today, more than 135 years after the laying of the cornerstone, construction continues on the Basilica.
The Sagrada Família, as an expiatory temple, has always been funded through the donations and contributions of thousands of anonymous individuals over the years.
Why.
As the original inspiration for me to study Architecture, the Sagrada Família is a clear first choice for me to support.
It would make me proud and happy to know I have contributed to the finalisation of this great masterpiece of Antoni Gaudí.
Forestwise.
About.
Forestwise is dedicated to creating #RainforestValue in order to sustain the rainforests of Borneo.
By helping to maintain the wild rainforest, Forestwise also conserves wildlife, generates employment and income for local inhabitants, and safeguards fresh water, fresh air and fertile soils. They increase the economic value of the remaining forest, and give forest communities a sound incentive for continuing to protect it.
Why.
In 2013, my personal friends Dirk-Jan Oudshoorn and Alexandra Vosmaer decided to move to Indonesia, witnessing at first hand the destruction caused by massive deforestation in Borneo.
In 2018, Dirk-Jan co-founded a social enterprise, Forestwise, to empower the local inhabitants to protect the remaining rainforest. And in 2020, Alexandra initiated the social enterprise Fat Forest, a spin-off of Forestwise. Fat Forest makes rainforest skincare products, using ingredients that naturally grow in the rainforest, carefully harvested by the local inhabitants, so it becomes a sustainable source of income for them. Make sure to check out their brand new product line.
It would be an honour for me if I could help support them and their good cause in any way.
Oxfam Novib.
About.
Oxfam Novib’s Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs network supports micro- and SME entrepreneurs in the Global South, giving them the opportunity to grow their business and contribute to a positive impact for their local economies.
Through loans and trainings provided by local partners, entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to invest in their business. This allows them to build a better future for themselves, their family and their community.
Why.
Already supporting Oxfam Novib personally for several years, their goal to defeat poverty globally resonates with my ambition to help in any way I can.
Now being able to do this through my own business - by joing the Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs network - I can contribute even more to this great cause, supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs.
