Jacobs Foundation is a Zurich-based philanthropic organization focused on education. It aims to ensure all young people have access to high-quality, evidence-based learning opportunities, moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches. The foundation sustains research into how children learn, promotes the use of evidence in schools and EdTech, and supports translating findings into education policy and practice. Founded in 1989 by Klaus J. Jacobs, the foundation operates under Strategy 2030 to advance evidence-informed learning. In 2026, it announced the LEVANTE dataset and an upcoming hackathon to propel its data-driven education initiatives.
