Our goal is a better world – for everyone

The challenges we face today around the world are numerous and significant – especially those considering children, education, and health. We believe that everyone has a responsibility to contribute and build better societies – in any way they can. We do it by supporting great organizations and great people that work to improve people’s everyday life.

While the statues of the Foundation are broad, we focus on supporting projects that have positive impact on children’s welfare, education, health, democratic development, and the climate.

We support projects globally and work together with organizations on all continents. We are always interested in getting in touch with people who work to make the world a better place – no matter where they operate. We have supported over 270 projects in 68 countries on five continents and secured education for more than 100,000 children in the past 16 years.

Children & education

The commitment to improve the lives of children and young adults is one of the cornerstones of the Foundation. Our goal is to help as many children as possible to get an education and a chance to improve their lives through learning.

Health and medical research

To support the development of good public health, healthy ageing and disease prevention, we grant funds to organizations in developing countries. Organizations that work with health-related issues, promote an active way of living and that encourages people to take charge of their own health.

Our planet

We believe that humanity needs to strengthen the connection to nature and gain a deeper understanding on how our way of living impacts the environment. That’s why we support organizations that develop green energy, search for innovative climate solutions, or work to change consumer behaviours.

Sustainable societies

Our goal is to support the development of sustainable societies through democracy, human rights, and freedom of speech. That’s why we are committed to contribute to those who work to improve societies around these essential liberties.

Giving back – a moral obligation

The af Jochnick Foundation was founded by the brothers Jonas and Robert af Jochnick in 2004, in an effort to give back to society and contribute to the greater good. By witnessing first-hand, the profound need for transformation – to overcome the enormous economic and social challenges that people are facing around the world – Jonas and Robert wanted to focus their efforts on charitable causes in a more efficient and structured way. This realisation led them to create the af Jochnick Foundation.
