Our Foundation

Eos Entrepreneur Foundation was founded in 2012 with the purpose to promote Social Entrepreneurs in Latin America and in Switzerland. Like the Greek Goddess EOS who brings light into the new day, so does the Foundation support Social Entrepreneurs with their initiatives that generate a positive impact. Social Entrepreneurs address social and/or environmental issues with a sustainable and entrepreneurial approach.
Eos Entrepreneur Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation and donations are thus tax-exempt at the municipal, state and federal level in Switzerland.
