Objectives
Land and property are scarce goods and therefore expensive. Usually too expensive for affordable housing and social or cultural projects, especially in city centres. Farmers are also confronted with rising land prices and leases. The Edith Maryon Foundation works to remove land from speculation so that we or others can use it in a socially responsible manner.
Land and Property
Project development
Are you looking for a reliable partner to help you implement your social housing project, from the initial idea through to its completion?
Donations and Bequests
Do you want to withdraw your land from the circulation of goods and hereditary property and thus permanently remove it from speculation in order to create long-term affordable housing?
