In a shifting global aid landscape, where education is often among the first sectors to see cuts, the Jacobs Foundation is charting a different course. Now at the midway point of its 10-year Strategy 2030, the foundation is taking stock — refining its model, reaffirming its core principles, and making strategic adjustments to deepen impact.
Launched in late 2020, the 500 million Swiss francs ($623.7 million) strategy marks a shift away from one-off project grants toward long-term, locally led partnerships designed to influence how national education systems work.
In a recent Devex Pro Funding live conversation, co-CEO Fabio Segura explained how the foundation is putting this vision into practice — and what that means for potential partners.
