Equitable world
A society where opportunity is not determined by birth, geography, gender, health, or circumstance.
The Generation Fund brings together diverse perspectives, experience, and energy around a common purpose: contributing to lasting social change.
The Fund is established as a philanthropic fund within the Trustbridge Foundation, a foundation domiciled in Switzerland. This structure provides a stable legal and governance framework, allowing the Fund to focus on what matters most: thoughtful, effective giving.
Its work is a collective undertaking, carried out together rather than in the name of any individual.
The Fund works with professional philanthropy advisors, and is guided by three ordering principles:
Priorities are set first; commitments follow from them.
What can be demonstrated carries more weight than what merely inspires.
Grants are the beginning of a relationship, not the end of one.
A society where opportunity is not determined by birth, geography, gender, health, or circumstance.
A philosophy of empowerment over dependency. Our focus is on removing barriers and creating the conditions under which people can act on their own behalf, not on doing for people what they can do for themselves.
More than survival and basic welfare: health, dignity, opportunity, agency, and the ability to contribute meaningfully to one's community.
