Fondation Chimay-Wartoise is a place-based foundation focused on improving well-being and local development across the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse territory in Belgium. It backs young people, entrepreneurs, and community initiatives with a strong emphasis on projects that are useful, sustainable, and rooted in local needs — especially in food systems, territorial innovation, and environmentally respectful economic activity. The foundation appears to combine small bursaries with project accompaniment and thematic calls, often supporting early-stage ideas, mobility, and pilot initiatives that can strengthen the region over time.
Provides a mix of open-year bursaries and thematic calls, with support ranging from individual youth grants to project seed funding and accompaniment for local organizations and enterprises. Funding is highly territorial, typically limited to the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse communes, and seems to favor practical, implementable projects rather than large national-scale grants.

Check whether your project fits one of the foundation’s open-year schemes (Bourse Jeunes, B.E.E.R., or Rural’Up) or a thematic call, and make sure it clearly benefits the target communes. Applications should emphasize local impact, sustainability, and community value; youth applicants should confirm age and residency/study eligibility, while entrepreneurial proposals should show territorial rooting and concrete implementation plans.
