We invest deliberately in what we support

Baitali Group invests structurally in the communities where we operate. We do so based on social impact and a clear focus β€” not based on who asks most loudly.

Below you will find which initiatives we can support, and which fall outside our scope.

  • Registered organizations, foundations or government institutions active in Suriname
  • Initiatives with demonstrable, direct impact on people or the living environment
  • Projects that align with at least one of our five social themes
  • Collaborations where transparency about spending and follow-up is a matter of course
Not eligible
  • Individual requests or requests without an organizational basis
  • Commercial initiatives without a social component
  • Activities related to tobacco, alcohol, gambling or political parties
  • Anonymous requests β€” a named contact person is always required

Meeting the criteria does not guarantee support. Our budget is finite and deliberately distributed across the year β€” not every strong initiative fits within the current quarter.

Our five themes
Youth & Education
Young people, schools, and talent development
Health & Well-being
Sport, prevention, and healthcare
Community & Inclusion
Social cohesion and equal opportunity
Innovation & Economy
Entrepreneurship and employment
Environment & Sustainability
Nature, climate, and sustainable development
