Mission Statement
TSADIK is a family philanthropy inspired by the ideal of social justice, supporting organizations that provide direct benefits to disadvantaged communities worldwide. Its programs focus on human rights, sustainable and economic development, as well as Jewish culture and a pluralistic society in Israël.
TSADIK favors NGO’s with scalable operations and impact investments often leveraging technology, further valuing culture and social entrepreneurship as means to pursue its mission.
Organization
Tsadik’s board is comprised of members of the founding family and external experts in the various subjects directly relevant to the Foundation’s operations. Tsadik Foundation is domiciled in Zurich, Switzerland.
Tsadik conducts most of its philanthropic grant-making activity in close collaboration with several organizations (the “Umbrellas”) specializing in its focus areas. This operating model enables Tsadik members to leverage the local expertise of the Umbrellas’ field-based infrastructure, while engaging in a direct relationship with ultimate recipients of the grants, often grassroot non-profits.
Seeking sustainable solutions for its philanthropic priorities, the foundation favors approaches such as:
-
Venture philanthropy, with a preference for fledgling non-profits, accountable causes with social impact that can scale-up or be replicated, with a consideration of cost vs benefit
-
The support of “social entrepreneur” who demonstrate their resolve and creativity in the pursuit of their social goals.
Ashoka (Switzerland) identifies and invests in leading social entrepreneurs, men and women with system changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems.
Euforia is a Swiss social enterprise which empowers people and unleashes their full changemaker potential.
