The Foundation
The Majid Foundation, based in Ascona, helps young adults aged 18 to 35 bring their dreams to life by funding projects of various kinds, as long as they are non-political in nature.
Majid likes to think of itself as “The Foundation of Ideas” because it aims to be a place where young people’s creative ideas are born and nurtured. Its goal is to offer trust and hope to the new generations, providing financial support to those with talent and ambition.
In parallel, the Foundation plays an active role in the cultural life of the region, bringing value and inspiration to the whole community through events, exhibitions, and initiatives open to all.

It provides visibility to both emerging and established artists, supporting philanthropic activities through the sale of exhibited works.
Let's shape the future together

Every project we support is an investment in human potential, capable of generating cultural, social and economic value. With your contribution, you can turn ideas into reality, give concrete opportunities to young talents and leave a legacy that speaks of vision, innovation and positive impact.
