On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of VP Bank, the VP Bank Foundation was founded in 2007 as a charitable institution.
The purpose of the VP Bank Foundation is to support projects, individuals and institutions that stand out in the areas of art, education, science and culture and wish to gain a higher profile. Donations can also be made for charitable and social purposes as well as beneficent activities in a broader sense.
The results and achievements of the fostered projects, individuals and institutions must relate in a recognizable way to all or a portion of the populace of the Principality of Liechtenstein and/or the corporate values of the VP Bank Group.
