What partage.lu does

Fondation Partage Luxembourg (partage.lu) is a Luxembourg-registered non-governmental foundation founded in 1966 and approved by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. The organisation delivers international development cooperation and humanitarian aid projects in partnership with local community-based organisations across at least 11 countries in Africa (Kenya, Rwanda, Mali, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan), Latin America (Brazil, Guatemala, Venezuela), Asia (India), and Europe (Ukraine). Its primary activity areas are development cooperation (food security, agriculture, indigenous rights, education, health), humanitarian emergency response (Ukraine, Venezuela), and global citizenship education aimed at the Luxembourg public and schools.

The foundation operates two principal web platforms. The main site (partage.lu) presents projects, partners, and donation mechanisms (Payconiq QR code and bank transfer, with donations tax-deductible in Luxembourg). The secondary site (minerais.partage.lu) hosts the 'Minerais et Intelligence Artificielle' (MinerAI) awareness project — co-developed with Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg and funded by the Direction de la coopération au développement — which delivers educational workshops, documentary screenings, interactive maps and mind maps, questionnaires, and a practical guide on responsible AI use. The organisation is governed by a small in-house team of approximately five to six staff based at 55, avenue de la Liberté, Luxembourg, including a Director, humanitarian project officer, administrative assistant, global citizenship education officer, communications/fundraising officer, and project officer.

The revenue model is non-commercial: the foundation is funded by individual Luxembourg donors (voluntary, tax-deductible) and by government grants channelled through the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It does not sell products or services, holds no patents or trademarks, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates without shareholders. The go-to-market motion is community-led — delivering impact through local implementing partners, raising awareness through schools, public events, documentary screenings, and digital channels, and generating funding via ongoing campaigns (e.g., the 2026 Venezuela earthquake appeal) and quarterly donor engagement.

Broad incumbents

• Misereor: German Catholic development agency funding partner organisations in the Global South. Compares as a larger, established Catholic-rooted development funder with similar partner-based operating model.
