Stichting Struan Foundation
Welcome to the website of Stichting Struan Foundation (Struan Foundation).
The Struan Foundation was established in 2008 by Mr. and Mrs. Jan and Marita Veldhuizen-Heule. After a successful international career and privately supporting a large number of charitable causes over the years, the founders concluded that they wanted to take a more structural and focussed approach to providing private financial support in pursuit of their mission. The Struan Foundation is the result.
The Mission of the Struan Foundation is to contribute to a greener, healthier and happier society in which people live in harmony with each other and their environment.
