About
Continuing Erwin's activism

Foundation Erwin Olaf continues Olaf’s mission: confronting injustice, celebrating diversity, and affirming that love and freedom are universal rights. Through our projects, we spotlight marginalized voices, support young talent (MBO), and back initiatives that challenge norms and imagine inclusive futures.

In addition, the Foundation has started a long-term project focused on the preservation, digitization, and research on the collection of Erwin Olaf’s oeuvre, including photographs, videos, negatives, sketches, and archival materials.
Projects

We are currently focusing on supporting projects that promote the acceptance of homosexuality in our society and create safe, positive, and bully-free environments for our youth. The Foundation finds it concerning that the acceptance of same-sex love among high school students has significantly declined in the last few years: from 63% to 43%. There is also a national increase in the number of youths who report being bullied at school. Enough reason to support people and projects that are also concerned about this.
