Our Story

We’re setting up the foundation to honour and build on the legacy of our late father, Claude, and the ongoing contribution of our mother, Catherine.

Our father quietly, generously helped people and causes he held dear. Throughout, our mother was the driving force by his side and remains the cornerstone of our family’s unity and commitment to service. Their shared dedication to helping others inspires us daily.

We believe the best way to continue and consolidate their great work is to create this foundation – a formal home for our family philanthropy.

We’re doing this because we can, because we want to, because the right time to do it is now. Above all, because we believe we will be able to make a real, significant difference to people’s lives.

Our Values

Personal Involvement

We only support causes that matter to us deeply — the ones that truly resonate and inspire us not only to help but to be actively involved.

Local Impact

We’re staying local so we can directly support the communities we’re part of — starting with Geneva and eventually expanding to Dubai.

Small but Mighty

We’re targeting smaller organizations because they often need more help, can be more nimble, and our support can make a much bigger difference.
