Foresee Foundation, also known as the 4C Foundation, was established in 2013 with a vision to advance 21st-century learning and community development on St. Maarten. Our work is guided by four core pillars: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking. Together, these principles reflect our commitment to innovation across the education, social and nonprofit sectors.

​

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and supported by a team of managing directors and dedicated support professionals. At the heart of our work are the many volunteers who generously contribute their time, skills and energy to building a stronger and more connected St. Maarten.

For more than a decade, 4C has worked to strengthen St. Maarten’s nonprofit, educational, social and cultural sectors. What began as a vision for advancing 21st-century learning has grown into a trusted platform for community development, collaboration and innovation. Early programmes such as DigiKidz and DigiTeenz helped transform digital education between 2013 and 2018, establishing the Foundation’s reputation for responding to community needs with practical and forward-thinking solutions.

​

Following Hurricane Irma and the COVID-19 pandemic, Foresee expanded its focus on community resilience, nonprofit development and regional collaboration. Today, its work includes  the Legacy to Future Fund Helpdesk for St. Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius, established through the Slavery Memorial Committee. Through guidance, workshops and one-on-one support, the Helpdesk assists communities in developing projects that promote awareness, recognition, healing and connection around the history and legacies of slavery.

Foresee’s flagship initiatives also include NPOwer, which strengthens nonprofit organizations through training, networking and organizational support; Soualichi Stories, which preserves and celebrates St. Maarten’s cultural heritage through storytelling; and Volunteer.sx, which connects people with meaningful opportunities to contribute their time, skills and talents.

Together, these programmes reflect Foresee’s commitment to stronger organizations, engaged communities and lasting regional impact.
