Lancelotprivate foundation

Guardian of the grail

Lancelot supports what living communities and communities need: a birth house, a place of care, a small school in nature, a water supply, a food forest and pick-your-own farm, a self-sufficient energy system, education and awareness.

Everything the heart needs.

Support goes to intentional communities and community groups, not to individual projects.

Donors and partners

Carried by the Camelot Family

The Camelot Investment Club is a donor of the foundation; Camelot bv and the Camelot Family are partners. The club exists since 20 May 2025 and grew into a community, a company and a family; the knights agreed to free up concrete means from the profits for projects that truly matter.

Asking for support

Recognition first, then support

Support from Lancelot is for intentional communities and community groups, not for individuals. An application can only come from the community itself, and only after it has registered with Lancelot and been recognised by the board of directors.

  1. 1
    Registration

    The community registers with Lancelot: who it is, where it stands, what it does and for whom. Individuals cannot register.

  2. 2
    Recognition

    The board of directors tests the community against the disinterested purpose and recognises it. Only a recognised community can ask for support.

  3. 3
    Application

    The recognised community submits its application: what it wants to achieve and which support it needs — gift, loan, grant, participation, services or property.

  4. 4
    Decision of the board

    Support only exists by a decision taken by the board of directors, with the founder as guardian of the purpose.

  5. 5
    Execution and follow-up

    The support is granted, executed and followed up in the board register of the foundation.
