In 2002, four friends discussed their wish to contribute to innovative social projects. They found the “gift of competence” concept developed in Anglo-Saxon countries particularly interesting.
Their discussions with a few Belgian non-profit organizations quickly revealed that the provision of coaching and management expertise to meet the targeted needs of associations would enable them to carry out their social purpose more effectively.
Although there is a real demand for support from multiple associations, there are only a few, if any, initiatives of this type in Belgium. Their first successful support of an association located in Charleroi and the growing interest of other social organizations finally convinced the friends to create a structured project by setting up a non-profit organization.
This is how Charles-Antoine Janssen, François de Borchgrave, Alexandre Lippens and Isabelle Adam founded ToolBox asbl-vzw in June 2003.
