Fondation Portray is a Belgium-based foundation focused on long-term quality of life for people with disabilities, especially planning for the period after parents are no longer able to provide care. Its giving is highly programmatic and mission-driven, with distinct funds for autism, ageing/end-of-life support, disability inclusion and citizenship, and small solidarity grants that improve daily life for people in precarious situations. The foundation also emphasizes practical expertise-sharing with families and professionals, supporting training, research, service development, and quality-of-life improvements rather than general operating support.
A mix of invite-only thematic funds and periodic open calls. Larger programmatic support appears to go to organizations, research, and service development, while Fonds Etincelles/Petites Etincelles provides smaller solidarity grants with calls in February and September and committee review in April and October; many other funds are invite-only.

Applicants should clearly show direct benefit to people with disabilities in Belgium, with strong emphasis on practical quality-of-life impact, family/professional support, and inclusion outcomes.
