Upgrade Charity
Why does Upgrade Estate support various charities?
The answer is in our mission: creating social impact and added societal value. We do that in various ways and with various projects. We are always looking for a link to our business and endeavour to assess whether our charity projects make enough of a social impact. Today, we are committed to the following projects through Upgrade Charity. Furthermore, we support a number of small, local initiatives..
Our own charity
Upgrade Solidarity
To meet the needs of our most vulnerable tenants during the coronavirus crisis in 2020, we set up the private foundation Upgrade Solidarity. For this, we were able to count on the solidarity of our investors and co-Creators who supported it through voluntary contributions.
Students who were struggling financially could apply for a rental allowance on the basis of objective and measurable criteria. As a result, around 40 students were able to continue their studies without having to give up their student room.
What's more, Upgrade Solidarity pays for these sessions. Since it began, around 255 students have registered for the scheme. Donations via the following account are always welcome: BE44 3632 0046 0745

Supporting Friends is an association that supports local projects on São Tomé e Principe, a small island off the west coast of Africa. The organisation prides itself on using 100% of the financial resources it raises to support the local population.
Talentenatelier Jongeren (TAJO, the Young People's Talent Workshop) started from the idea that only those who are offered opportunities will be able to seize them. With this in mind, it organises practical workshops on Saturdays for socially vulnerable young people with the aim of teaching participants the importance of ‘doing your best for later’.
