About Us
Who is behind the World Contract Foundation?The World Contract Foundation was founded in January 2002 by 22 donors based in Hamburg out of the conviction that in the 21st century the idea of sustainability in its ecological, economic, social and cultural dimensions could be offered an efficient field of action. Our work and projects are carried out by people who bring their different backgrounds and skills to the foundation's activities.
