What counts as a social impact job
A role at an organisation whose product or service improves access or inclusion for people who are underserved. It covers more than non-profits: social enterprises are in there too, and so are ordinary companies whose product happens to be social.
807 organisations, half of them in Brussels
As of 14 October 2026, 807 of the 1,647 companies on our Impact Map work on social impact. That makes it the largest of the three areas, just ahead of climate with 771. It’s also the most concentrated. 412 of the 807 sit in the Brussels region. Antwerp has 52 and Ghent 47. That still leaves 395 organisations spread over the rest of the country, so look close to home before you decide you have to move. And we’re sure we’ve missed some.
Two names to start with
Both sit in Antwerp. Maurice & Nora pairs student helpers with seniors and families who need a hand. Waste Warriors makes products out of the fruit and veg farmers can’t sell. On our map it counts as climate and social at once.
Operations first, fundraisers last
On the same day we counted 673 open roles at the social organisations on our map. Operations came top with 148 and care roles close behind with 145. Education and training came next at 130.
Programme and project managers are a small group: about 18 of the 673 have it in the job title. Fundraisers and partnership roles are rarer still, about 14. Some of these organisations run on grants and gifts, so the people who bring the money in are core staff. Others sell a product and never hire a fundraiser.
We can’t give you a salary range for this area. Only 11% of the roles on our platform list one, so anyone quoting you a number for social impact work in Belgium is estimating. Ask about it in the first conversation.
