Smile Wave Fund

Education, humanitarian aid, social integration and protection of the environment, with particular focus on the oceans

The objectives of the Smile Wave Fund

The Smile Wave Fund has been sheltered under Fondation Philanthropia with the objective to support projects in the fields of education, humanitarian aid, social integration and protection of the environment, with particular focus on the oceans. The fund is active in Switzerland and internationally.

 

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for local communities and raise their awareness on environmental issues through the enhancement of education and social integration, while taking into account their geographical location and their mode of consumption.

 

Our support goes exclusively to organisations that share our philosophy and we work to make sure that our direct actions are conducted in a close partnership with them.

 

With regard to social integration and education, we support small local organisations as we believe they have the best understanding of issues and, more importantly, provide the best opportunity to deliver a more concrete and measurable positive impact

 

In the field of environmental protection, we place particular emphasis on the term protection and, as such, support organisations that mainly focus on immediate threats to our planet and require immediate action, while also looking to analyse the root causes of these threats.
