The Julius Baer Foundation is partly responsible for the Julius Baer Group’s cultural patronage. The Foundation's specific focus, the broad range of its Board, and its professional independence lay the cornerstone for the Julius Baer Group's long-term socio-cultural commitment. The Julius Baer Foundation was founded in 1965. Its charter defines its purview as “culture and art of all kinds, the academic pursuit of knowledge, and charitable and social causes”. The Foundation’s current focus is on projects associated with youth. It is also providing support for various cultural and charitable undertakings.
