What we do
We help animals in many ways
With Sanco Foundation we help animals, both in Belgium and abroad. We collect money, medical supplies, food, goods and medication, and make sure those donations reach the place where they are needed most at that moment. To do so, we organise domestic and international transports.
We attach great importance to acting correctly and to high-quality care for the animals. Medication and medical supplies always go through the hands of our veterinarians. The chair of Sanco Foundation is a passionate, licensed Belgian veterinarian, so medical care is always applied correctly.
We also roll up our sleeves ourselves, at home and abroad. We send veterinarians into the field to curb the stray animal problem with neutering and spaying projects, and to help injured and sick animals. We also support other animal welfare organisations and shelters. We support where others stop.
What we stand for
- Animals are our priority
- Every animal deserves a chance
- Letting animals feel what love is
- A focus on medical care
- Getting supplies, care and funds to the right place
- Supporting where others stop

Frequently asked questions about Sanco
Who is Sanco Foundation?
Sanco Foundation is a Belgian non-profit association (vzw), founded on 12 October 2022 and based in Tremelo (Flemish Brabant), with company number 0792.367.066. Its chair is a licensed Belgian veterinarian. We collect money, food, supplies and medication and make sure they reach animals that need them most, in Belgium and abroad.
Do you only help animals in Belgium?
No. Sanco makes no distinction between Belgium and abroad: we always look at where the need is greatest at that moment. We support shelters and animal welfare organisations in Belgium and abroad, including by transporting relief supplies and sending veterinarians into the field.
What happens to my donation?
Your gift buys food, medication and medical supplies for animals in need. It pays for medical costs such as treatments and life-saving surgery, funds neutering and spaying projects that tackle the stray animal problem, and covers transport so that supplies reach the places where they are needed most. All medical care is provided through licensed veterinarians.
Will I receive a tax certificate?
No. Sanco Foundation cannot issue Belgian tax certificates (fiscaal attest) at this time, so your gift is not tax-deductible. For every online gift you do receive a payment receipt by email.
