ABOUT US

Guided by 4Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity & Critical Thinking

Foresee Foundation, also known as the 4C-Foundation, was established in 2013 with a vision to bring 21st-century learning to St. Maarten. It is built on four pillars - 'Communication', 'Collaboration', 'Creativity', and 'Critical thinking'. These pillars symbolize the vision of innovation in the educational and social sectors.

 

We are guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, a team of managing Directors and several support functions. And of course not forgetting the countless volunteers that work tirelessly to make the island a better place for all.

From Vision to Impact: A Decade of Innovation with Foresee Foundation

Foresee (4C) Foundation is making strides in its plan to stand at the forefront of St. Maarten’s non-profit, culture and educational development. Since its inception over a decade ago, Foresee has grown from a visionary idea into a key driver of community resilience, championing innovative projects that respond to local needs. While early successes like the DigiKidz and DigiTeenz  programs (2013-2018) transformed digital education, the foundation has continued to evolve, with each initiative leaving a lasting impact on the island.

 

Following the devastation of Hurricane Irma followed by COVID-19, Foresee demonstrated its adaptability by launching the NPOwer Program in 2018/2019, which remains a pillar in strengthening the capacity and connectivity of Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs). The foundation’s ability to respond to emerging challenges is further reflected in its current projects, such as Volunteer.sx, a vital platform promoting volunteerism, and Soualichi Stories, an initiative preserving St. Maarten's cultural narratives.

Shaping St. Maarten’s Future: Creativity, Collaboration & Sustainable Growth

As Foresee continues to lead positive change, its programs and projects construct a narrative of creativity, collaboration, and sustainable growth, helping to shape St. Maarten into a vibrant, self-sustaining community.
