Aim of the Foundation\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>

The Foundation’s mission is to develop evidence-based learning ideas, support schools in providing quality education, share best practices and collaborate to transform education systems around the world. The Jacobs Foundation’s mission is to provide children and young people with effective knowledge, skills, tools and equitable opportunities so that they can reach their full learning potential and grow together.<\/span><\/p>

History of the Foundation\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>

In 1989, Jacobs and his family established the Jacobs Foundation, an internationally oriented private foundation based in Zurich. Its aim was to actively and sustainably support future generations of young people, to offer them opportunities for positive development and to make them socially responsible members of society.<\/span><\/p>

Jacobs has received numerous honorary degrees in recognition of his outstanding efforts to promote education and youth. In 2005, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Basel. In 2008, he was made an honorary senator of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Conference Foundation for his services to education. Just to name a few.<\/span><\/p>

Investing in development and youth\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>

The Jacobs Foundation<\/span><\/a> has committed $38.3 million to development in 2021 as part of its grantmaking efforts. Compared to 2020, this amount represents a net increase of 105.6 per cent. In 2021, the Jacobs Foundation will focus primarily on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society (US$29.7 million), universities, colleges or other educational institutions, research institutes or think tanks (US$4.2 million), and multilateral organisations (US$3.7 million). The Foundation focused its development funds mainly on Africa and the Americas. Africa accounted for $32.7 million and the Americas for $1.3 million, representing 85.2 per cent to 3.3 per cent of the Foundation’s development funds.<\/span><\/p>

To become socially responsible and productive members of society, children and youth need equal access to quality education and development opportunities, and the Jacobs Foundation seeks to achieve just that through its projects and investments.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
