WHO WE ARE

Our Mission

Established in 2003, The Chen Yet-Sen Family Foundation is dedicated to enhancing access to learning and development opportunities for all with a strategic focus on education improvement. Its belief is that effective philanthropy is built on acquired knowledge and domain expertise across a number of diverse initiatives in key focus areas. As a hybrid organization, the Foundation supports grants programs as well as operating its own Special Projects.

In our areas of focus, we want to provide every single person with the fundamental building blocks to reach their full potential.


We invest in projects in two primary areas: childhood literacy, and vision correction. Our belief is that effective philanthropy is built on acquired knowledge and experience, and we have dedicated the last 15 years to testing and learning in these areas.


We are tremendously proud that so many of our early initiatives have thrived since they were first launched, and it has enabled us to further invest in out-of-the-box ideas to improve learning and development.
