The Wyss Foundation is a private, charitable foundation dedicated to supporting innovative, long-lasting solutions that improve lives, empower communities, and strengthen connections to the land. Founded in 1998 by Hansjörg Wyss, the foundation is driven by a passion for conservation and preserving America's iconic Western landscapes. To confront the global conservation crisis, the Wyss Foundation launched a $1.

5 billion campaign, called the Wyss Campaign for Nature. The foundation's philanthropy extends to diverse areas, including conservation, education, economic opportunity, and social justice. Each philanthropic investment is carefully chosen and aims to encourage new ideas and solutions that expand the reach of human possibility and compassion.

The foundation's work is by invitation only, and it seeks to protect and ensure that everyone can experience and explore the beauty of the land. With a commitment to practical innovation, the Wyss Foundation strives to foster new collaborations and tools across various fields, including medicine, education, conflict resolution, and land conservation
