The Social Capital Foundation (TSCF) is an independent non-profit, non-governmental organization, free of any established political or economic interest, that pursues the promotion of social capital and social cohesion. It is based in Brussels.

TSCF brings together people and organizations who would like to contribute to a better future by reinforcing the social link between people, as opposed to the more narrow economic focus that has held sway for the past three decades or more.

Social Capital is about revitalizing social cohesiveness, and can be defined as a set of mental dispositions and attitudes favoring cooperative behaviors within society. 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, and the preservation of cultural identity for community integration.

TSCF supports the development of approaches and proposals that will contribute to re-orientating governmental and corporate policies - as well as individual behaviors on a daily basis. It does this through socio-economic research, publication, events, and by any means that will help restore the community link and illuminate positive responses to the contemporary transformations. TSCF is the editor of The International Scope Review, one of the most international peer-reviewed academic journals in the social and economic sciences.
