De Warande is a Flemish club, located in Brussels, Belgium. The club was founded in Brussels in 1988.
When founded in 1988, then club received an interest-free loan of €750,000 from Flanders to renovate its building at Brussels Park (Dutch: Warandepark). In 2018, the Flemish Government granted the business club a 20-year interest-free loan of €800,000, to "strengthen the Flemish presence in Brussels and promote the international Flanders." Both loans are reimbursed by memberships for 50 or 60 Flemish ministers, heads of cabinet and top civil servants, equivalent to €800 per year, per membership.
