What we do
We believe that Chile’s development is driven by trusting its people. That’s why we provide them with direct support and concrete solutions at different stages of their lives to address crucial and emerging needs in the country.
Who We Are
Fundación Luksic is the first and oldest of the Luksic family’s foundations. Our history began in the 1960s with social initiatives led by Andrónico Luksic Abaroa. Today, the Foundation brings together the Luksic family’s philanthropic efforts across different areas, united by a shared purpose: contributing to Chile and the well-being of the people who live here.
