Hansjörg Wyss

The Wyss Foundation is a private, charitable foundation dedicated to supporting innovative, lasting solutions that improve lives, empower communities, and strengthen connections to the land. Today, the Wyss Foundation's philanthropy supports projects in areas from conservation and education to economic opportunity and social justice. Each philanthropic investment seeks to encourage new ideas and new solutions that expand the reach of human possibility and compassion. At the Wyss Foundation, we invest in conservation projects that forge new partnerships and new approaches to protecting land. In our work to expand economic opportunity and empower communities, we help incubate new thinking and new ideas that can help move beyond old paradigms and divisions. Above everything, we want to help find solutions that work and that stand the test of time.
