A commitment since 2018
Since its founding in 2018, the Majid Foundation has supported 24 different projects spanning science, music, art, and cuisine, in collaboration with a number of important national and international institutions.
Projects that make a difference
Over the years, Majid has contributed to youth talent in many ways, funding scholarships in neuroscience, literary publications, artistic and theatrical initiatives, international musical activities, film festivals, social agricultural projects, as well as awards for emerging young chefs.
At the core of these projects is the shared belief that youth creativity and ingenuity should be supported not only financially but also personally, valuing the individual stories behind them and promoting a positive impact on the community.
A network connecting talent and opportunities
The Foundation’s work has been made possible through collaborations with universities, cultural associations, international festivals, art schools, philanthropic foundations, and public institutions, creating a wide network of relationships that reflects the Foundation’s inclusive, innovative, and international mission.
Every project supported by Majid is a tangible testimony of the trust the Foundation places in young people, in their ability to dream and contribute positively to the future outlook of our time.
Let's hear from the protagonists
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Majid Foundation for the support provided. Thanks to your help, the United Soloists Orchestra was able to grow and establish itself as a point of reference for promoting local talents in Ticino. Your assistance was fundamental in developing innovative projects and carrying out cultural initiatives that gave a voice to young artists in our region. I am truly grateful for believing in our project and allowing us to achieve important milestones. We look to the future with enthusiasm, confident that this path of growth will continue to benefit the musical and cultural community of the area.

The Majid Foundation allowed me to take my first steps into the world of research in cognitive neuroscience by supporting my doctoral project on long-term memory and forgetting at the University of Edinburgh. The Foundation’s support was also crucial for continuing my clinical training in Cambridge while pursuing my research on human memory. I will be forever grateful to the Majid Foundation for believing in my project at a crucial moment in my career.

Thanks to the Majid Foundation, I was able to publish my books. For me, it was a dream come true! I have always wanted to write stories for children and adults and let them ‘immerse’ themselves in my adventures. Thanks to them, I was able to bring my books into schools and even hold an exhibition with my drawings and those of the children. It’s a fantastic experience! In the future, not too far off, I would like to do this as a real job—writing, illustrating stories and comics. It’s already a job, but it would be great to do just that as my profession.
