Edmond J. Safra Foundation

Edmond J. Safra, one of the 20th century’s most accomplished bankers and a devoted philanthropist, established a major charitable foundation to ensure that needy individuals and organizations would continue to receive his assistance and encouragement for many years to come. 

Following his passing in 1999, his beloved wife Lily faithfully and energetically led the Edmond J. Safra Foundation for more than twenty years. Drawing continuing inspiration from the example Mr. and Mrs. Safra set and the values they emobdied, the Foundation has supported hundreds of organizations in over forty countries around the world, and its work encompasses four areas: education; science and medicine; religion; and humanitarian assistance, culture, and social welfare.
