Wisdom for change
We are a global philanthropic foundation committed to improving the lives of all living beings by offering everyone the opportunity to nurture the seed of change through systemic action.
WISEDĀNA
Giving wisely.
Our name, our purpose.
Wisedāna Foundation is inspired by the fundamental principle of interconnection among all living beings, rooted in the ancient Buddhist tradition. We believe that every creature and ecosystem deserves equal respect, care, and protection.
Through our efforts, we aim to cultivate the practice of wise and conscious generosity, to help create a happier and more sustainable world.
The quality of actions done with wisdom: the ability to understand reality and its true complexity.
A word from Pāli meaning generosity: the practice of selfless giving that nurtures others.

NETWORK
Born in Europe to act globally
Our work is made possible thanks to the initial support provided by UBI, through philosophical guidance, an established institutional network and financial resources. We also benefit from a valuable collaboration with Ashoka, a strategic partner in shaping our approach to systemic change.
We share with these institutions, and many others, a common goal: to bring meaningful and lasting change into the world.
