Who We Are

Matilda Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to empowering educational and professional aspirations. In the education realm, we offer financial support to students  striving to realize their academic dreams, and to assist professionals dedicated to meaningful, albeit less financially rewarding, pursuits. We champion the cause of those who aim to make a significant impact in their respective fields, fostering a culture where dedication and passion pave the way for innovation and societal progress.

​

Our Founders

We owe our existence to the generosity of our founders, a visionary couple from the Suthipongchai family. Driven by the principles of altruism and social justice, they established the Matilda Foundation to make education accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic background. They are passionate about empowering individuals to pursue their true calling in life and are dedicated to leveling the societal playing field through education.

​

Our Goal

At the Matilda Foundation, our goal is to transform the landscape of opportunity in Thailand. We recognize that true potential can only be realized when individuals are given fair access to resources, not just in education but in various fields where passion and innovation drive progress. Our commitment is to level the playing field, providing essential support that empowers everyone – from students to professionals – to compete fairly and realize their full potential. We strive to shift the narrative from exclusive access to inclusive empowerment, fostering a society where every dream has the chance to flourish and contribute to the greater good.

Our Approach

At the Matilda Foundation, our approach is methodical and impact-focused, designed to address the root causes of unequal opportunity in Thailand.

1. Deep Understanding: Our first step is to delve deeply into the factors contributing to the unlevel playing field in Thailand. This involves comprehensive analysis and understanding of the societal, economic, and educational dynamics at play.

2. Focused Identification: Based on our understanding, we identify specific areas where our efforts can have the most significant impact. This step ensures that our resources are channeled effectively to where they are needed most.

3. Research and Exploration: We then invest in thorough research to explore potential solutions to these identified challenges. This involves studying various models and approaches that have the potential to make a meaningful difference.

4. Engagement and Empowerment: Finally, we seek out individuals who are passionately working towards solving these problems. Through our funding programs, we aim to empower these change-makers, providing them with the resources they need to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

Our approach is not just about providing financial assistance; it's about fostering a community of dedicated individuals and supporting them in their journey to make a lasting impact. Read more from our research in our blogs!
