36 years of impact
Our long-term commitment to children
The Jacobs Foundation has reached a milestone that reflects both its history and its future: more than CHF 1 billion has been invested since our founding to advance children’s learning and development around the world.
This landmark achievement underscores our long-term commitment to evidence-based philanthropy and to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. The CHF 1 billion invested to date has supported work across early learning, learning variability, and systems-level reform.
This milestone comes at a pivotal moment. With international education financing under increasing pressure and official development assistance in decline, strategic and flexible philanthropy is more important than ever. We continue to be guided by evidence, entrepreneurial excellence, and social responsibility, with a clear focus on long-term impact.
