Driving social change on a global scale

Charlotte och Fredriks Stiftelse is dedicated to creating transformative social impact and empowering people around the world.

Cause Area

Improving Mental Health

Billions are affected by mental health challenges across the globe. By breaking stigma and expanding access to support, we empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Example: Co-founders of The Village, a program that combines therapeutic approaches with mindful breathwork, creating spaces where young people discover inner resilience, develop emotional intelligence, and build supportive communities.

Cause Area

Advancing Global Development

Over 700 million people live in extreme poverty worldwide, and millions more lack access to basic healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. We contribute to global development through efforts aimed at reducing poverty and improving health and education for people around the globe.

Example: Grant to Hand in Hand, to empower women living in poverty with resources, knowledge, and skills to develop as entrepreneurs to enhance livelihoods, demand their rights, and foster sustainable development, locally and globally.

Cause Area

Empowering People

Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. We aim to level the playing field by empowering individuals to thrive and become the best versions of themselves, contributing to a kinder, flourishing society.

Example: Grant to Kindness & Compassion, to facilitate conversation groups based on different needs, creating a movement of good deeds that spreads to make the world a kinder and more inclusive place to live in.
