about us

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.
