Landelijk Samenwerkingsverband Actieve Bewoners (LSA)
The Landelijk Samenwerkingsverband Actieve Bewoners (LSA) is the national association for community led organisations in the Netherlands. LSA and its members believe in communities as the answer to many of society’s questions. In 2020 LSA Bewoners took over responsibility for community foundations from Lokale Fondsen and now intends to build a national movement of community foundations and to offer effective ways of capacity building for local members.
