About LGT Venture Philanthropy

LGT Venture Philanthropy (LGT VP) is an independent charitable foundation established by LGT Group Foundation in 2007, alongside the Princely Family of Liechtenstein's vision of creating a lasting, positive impact on people and planet. Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, with regional offices in Kenya and India, our mission is to improve the quality of life of people facing disadvantages, contribute to healthy ecosystems, and build resilient, inclusive, and prosperous communities.
