Eckenstein-Geigy-Stiftung

Eckenstein-Geigy Stiftung operates as a dedicated funding foundation, empowering organizations and creative individuals to forge innovative solutions for pressing cultural, social, and ecological challenges. It primarily provides financial support and resources to initiatives focused on these critical areas, actively seeking partnerships rather than soliciting applications. This strategic approach allows the foundation to selectively engage with projects that align with its mission to foster societal advancement.

The foundation was established by Jeannine and Matthias Eckenstein, with a profound motivation stemming from the birth of their first grandchild, Lucy. This significant family event served as a catalyst, inspiring a commitment to address societal needs and invest in the future. The Eckenstein family’s personal connection to the foundation’s genesis underscores a deeply rooted dedication to its philanthropic endeavors.

Beneficiaries of the foundation's support include a diverse array of organizations and individuals working to mitigate societal problems and improve global well-being. The long-term vision of Eckenstein-Geigy Stiftung is to actively contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future by championing solutions that tackle urgent challenges, ultimately enhancing global health and reducing systemic inequalities.
