Board and contact

The board of ABN AMRO Foundation consists of five members, two of whom are independent. The board defines ABN AMRO Foundation’s strategy and policies, while also supervising its finances and the implementation of its annual plan. The foundation is headed up by a director in charge of its daily affairs, and its activities are carried out by ten passionate and enthusiastic ABN AMRO members of staff.

The board meets at least three times a year, with the director and staff reporting on finances and on the progress of the annual plan. The board is not remunerated, but may claim expenses they incur in the course of their duties.

Board members and director

Chairman Kees van Dijkhuizen

Chairman of the ABN AMRO Managing Board

'We want to create sustainable value, both financial and non-financial, for our clients and for society as a whole. One way we do this is through our employees who volunteer for projects organised by ABN AMRO Foundation. In this way, we’re becoming a better bank which contributes to a better world.'

Board member Klaas Ariaans

Director of Personal Banking at ABN AMRO

'Doing something for - and with - someone who is less fortunate than I am gives me a fantastic feeling. Like playing sports or painting together. Giving them just a little bit of attention. It takes very little effort, but you get so much in return.’

Board member Carole Thate

General Manager of World of Johan Cruyff

'As a former top athlete, I know first-hand that being encouraged to discover your talent is so important to development. Figuring out where your strengths lie - whether in sport, art or anything else - gives you self-confidence you can build on for the rest of your life.’

Treasurer Jan van Rutte

Member of the Supervisory Board of De Volksbank NV, member of the Supervisory Board of PGGM NV and BNG Bank NV 

'ABN AMRO employees have always been socially engaged. We don’t shout this from the rooftops, but they have been offering their time, knowledge and expertise to vulnerable groups in society for many years. Their help often gives these people the support they need to take a step forward.’

Director Ernst Boekhorst

Head of Brand, Sponsoring & Foundation

'I love seeing thousands of ABN AMRO employees making a difference by taking part in the foundation’s activities every year. It’s so important for children to find out what they’re good at. With the help of our volunteers, we’re broadening these youngsters’ horizons, and that’s very rewarding work.'
