Prins bernhard nature fund

Organizational profile:
Prince Bernhard Nature Fund (PBNF) is an endowment fund and a not-for-profit organisation. The endowment left by the late Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands is invested in the stock market (in green and sustainable companies such as in the renewable energy sector) and the interest is used to support projects worldwide.

PBNF has no donors or investors.
