This year has been a challenging year for all of us. And while 2020 has brought us great uncertainty, it has also opened opportunities for community, solidarity, and innovation. This year, it is even more important for the Jacobs Foundation to support organizations, who really make a difference in the field of child and youth development. This is why in 2020 we have increased our support to a total endowment of 1.5 million Swiss francs. In honor of its founder, the Klaus J. Jacobs Best Practice Prizes recognize the exceptional commitment and innovative solutions by institutions or individuals. For the first time in 2020, we honor not one, but three outstanding organizations. These organizations do great work in normal times, but they also responded with speed and agility to help children when schools closed in many parts of the world. Congratulations: Dybuster, PEAS, and Ubongo!
