The Geostick Foundation supports, finances and stimulates (inter)national activities in sports, culture, social issues, education and sustainability. The activities being selected have a focus on (one of) three elements: People, Planet and Prosperity. 

To this end, the Geostick Foundation annually selects a number of socially relevant projects at home and abroad that will then be supported financially and, if possible, operationally. 

The Geostick Foundation aims to provide non-profit development aid and to support and finance socially relevant projects and/or individuals at home and abroad. 

The mission and activities of the Geostick Foundation are based on three sustainable principles:  

The approach of the Geostick Foundation therefore consists of providing financial support and realizing projects. It also stimulates (scientific) research and initiates fundraising for these goals. Furthermore, the Geostick Foundation offers direct support to people involved in the initiatives. 

Utilizing this approach, in the coming years, the foundation wishes to further complete its mission by contributing to a sustainable, healthy and peaceful society.
