The activity of Millennium bcp Foundation is part of Millennium bcp social responsibility strategy, embodied since its constitution. According with its articles of incorporation, Millennium bcp Foundation’s activity focuses mainly on Culture, Science & Knowledge and Social Solidarity areas. In this context, Millennium bcp Foundation has been developing a strategy of promotion of the Portuguese Culture, supporting heritage conservation and divulgation initiatives, as well as manifold cultural projects from organizations that are a reference in the National cultural panorama.

 

Culture

Culture is assumed by the Foundation as its main area of activity, in which it has positioned itself as patron of several projects in the field of arts and in the preservation of the historical and architectural heritage, namely, the museological heritage, an essential component of the national identity. It has also supported initiatives related to modern and contemporary art and events that emphasize artistic interdisciplinarity and the sharing of culture with diverse audiences.

Science and
Knowledge

Science and education are fundamental for the construction of a developed society and for the exercise of a responsible and informed citizenship, reason why the Foundation has been reinforcing its collaboration with diverse educative projects, of scientific investigation and of diffusion of the knowledge, through support for post-graduate programs at Portuguese universities of reference, research projects in the field of child health and award of scholarships.

Social Solidarity

With the purpose of promoting initiatives that stimulate the development of a favorable social context, the Foundation supports actions of different entities covering several areas of intervention, such as childhood, adolescence, poverty, disability, among others. The idea of supporting the weakest sections of the population and promoting the efficient management of available resources and their sustainability to third sector entities is transversal.
