History

Born in 1886 near Lviv in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Leopolda Wild was a woman ahead of her time, a pioneer who deeply believed in the transformative power of education and entrepreneurship.

​Her innovative approach became the foundation that allowed subsequent generations, starting with her own children and closest circle, to take on leadership roles.

Leopolda’s achievements are testament to the belief that supporting talent and creating the right opportunities allows people – regardless of their background – to develop, succeed and inspire others.


​Today, Leopolda Wild's legacy is continued by the Foundation bearing her name, realizing her vision by investing in the development of dynamic leaders committed to positively changing the world and their communities.

We design our programs for those who want to change the world — regardless of barriers or borders. We invest in education, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development because we believe that everyone has the right to knowledge, opportunity, and a voice.

​The future begins today — with education, courage, and inspiration.
