Our goal is to transform lives and make our planet a better place to live.

The Pathway Foundation is a grant making foundation based in Lugano, Switzerland.
Our mission is to improve people’s lives in the developing world by supporting established organizations with a proven track record in health, education, livelihoods and the environment.
Our work focuses primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, India, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia.
We work with organizations who share our values:

Trust
We trust the people with whom we collaborate because they are already doing good work and because their plans are compelling and convincing.

Integrity
We are consistent, honest and transparent in all our relationships, and we value the same in our partners.

Rigor
We are as rigorous in our selection of partners as they are in their use of resources.

Respect
We respect our partners’ ability to identify, evaluate and propose solutions to the greatest problems affecting individuals, communities, and society.

Pragmatism
We want change to happen. Our approach is simple, hands-on, and results-driven. We are committed to building on success.
