Established in 2025, the BNP Paribas Portugal Foundation is committed to generating lasting impact on Portuguese society. With a deep understanding of local social, environmental and cultural challenges, the Foundation aspires to achieve a more inclusive, sustainable and equitable society, through long-term non core investments in people, communities and ecosystems.
Our three main fields of action
Solidarity
Promote social inclusion through skilling and employment, emphasizing vulnerable populations.
Environment
Increase support for scientific research projects that enhance the capacity to generate and scale solutions to restore and revitalize the marine ecosystem.
Culture
Make arts reachable for the widest possible audience, amplifying voices that are often unheard, and keeping Portuguese heritage alive while re‑interpreting it for today.
Our mission
