The Social Capital Foundation (TSCF) is an independent institution, free of any established political or economic interest. Its policies and decisions are sovereign and with no recourse. It does not receive support from governments, nor does it contribute to their funding. It is not for profit. Created in 2002, it is based in Belgium and Malta.  

The relationships between TSCF and the environment (authors, conference attendants, providers and external bodies) are governed by the rules of etiquette. 

TSCF pursues the promotion of Social Capital. Social Capital is about revitalizing the community link, and can be defined as a set of mental dispositions and attitudes favoring cooperative behaviors within society. 

TSCF supports approaches that contribute to re-orientating governmental and corporate policies as well as personal behaviors on a daily basis, in the objective to ensure the development of Social Capital. It does this through research, publication, events, and by any means that may illuminate appropriate responses to the challenges and transformations of today's society. TSCF is the editor of The International Scope® Review, one of the most international peer-reviewed academic journals in the social and economic sciences.  

TSCF's orientation emphasizes the necessary social dimension of the market economy, the pivotal role of the middle class in modern society, the necessity for improvement of social cooperation and participation, the autonomous development of a vibrant civil society, and the preservation of cultural identity for community integration.
