The path towards a vital democracy is paved by a new generation empowered to reimagine a shared future.
Who we are
A global foundation working to revitalize democracy
The Daniel Sachs Foundation was founded on the conviction that the path towards a vital democracy is paved by a new generation empowered to reimagine a shared future.
What we do
Empowering new voices to reimagine society
We develop projects that bridge the gap between civil society and institutions, aligning with three core themes: Vital Politics, Inclusive Society, and Artistic Originality.
Our keystone projects
Set to launch in 2025, this initiative — still in stealth mode — will turn business leadership into action to defend democracy, foster trust, and advance shared prosperity.
Better Politics Foundation is the world’s leading convener of political leadership entrepreneurs and innovators. Non-partisan by design, global in reach.
F1RST aims to democratize higher education, matching talents with opportunities to promote a more inclusive and diverse Swedish business sector. F1RST was founded in collaboration with the Stockholm School of Economics.
‘Politikerskolan’ is a non-partisan political leadership incubator launched by DSF in 2016. The program cultivates diverse groups of emerging leaders in Sweden to run for elected office and was awarded 'Social Impact Initiative of the Year' in 2019.
The Better Politics Fund builds on the pioneering work of the Multitudes Foundation, supporting changemakers who are building more inclusive, human and hopeful politics.
In partnership with the Runner's Academy, Run for Office encourages underprivileged youth to take an active role in democracy by offering leadership programs, mentorships, and convenings.
How we work
Seeding new projects through funded activism
We advance our mission by building new initiatives following a strategy designed for experimentation, agility and collaboration. We call this flexible framework to creating impact ‘funded activism’.
