Bpost Impact Fund: helping more people participate in a digital society
Since 1998, the Bpost Impact Fund, hosted by the King Baudouin Foundation, has been supporting non-profit organizations that deliver a positive societal impact aligned with Bpost’s ESG priorities.
Our impact so far
- More than 240 literacy projects supported between 1998 and 2016
- 4 organizations selected through the 2025 call for projects, focusing on initiatives that strengthen digital skills and improve employability.
- A new call for projects planned for autumn 2026, focused on reducing social isolation
Supporting digital inclusion
More and more essential services, information and everyday interactions are moving online. For people with limited access or digital skills, that can create new barriers.
That is why the Bpost Impact Fund focused in 2025 on digital inclusion. It supports organizations that help people:
- access digital tools and services;
- develop practical digital skills;
- receive personal training and guidance;
- use digital services with greater confidence and autonomy.
The 2025 laureates
Four organizations were selected through the 2025 call for projects following an independent selection process.
From helping jobseekers use AI responsibly to building digital confidence among women and young adults, their projects show how practical skills, access to technology and personal support can open up new opportunities.
The 2025 laureates are Backstage.Network, Duo for a Job, Interface 3 and WaW Make it Work. They were recognized at an internal event in March 2026, which also marked the launch of new volunteering opportunities for Bpost employees.

WaW Make it Work – Digital inclusion as a pathway to employment

From literacy to digital inclusion
The Fund was created in 1998 to help combat illiteracy in Belgium. Between 1998 and 2016, it financed more than 240 projects, initially supporting adult literacy and later focusing on preventive initiatives for families.
After a strategic pause, the Fund was relaunched in 2023 as the Bpost Impact Fund, with a broader focus on social inclusion.
In 2025, its mission was renewed around one of today’s most pressing challenges: ensuring that more people can participate confidently and independently in a digital society.
