About the KL Felicitas Foundation

Welcome to KL Felicitas Foundation. The KL Felicitas Foundation was created in 2000 by Charly and Lisa Kleissner.

Our mission is to enable social entrepreneurs and enterprises worldwide to develop and grow sustainably, with an emphasis on rural communities and families.  The Foundation also actively advocates its Impact Investing strategy.

The KL Felicitas’s impact investing strategy works to match the entrepreneurial spirit and business discipline of social enterprise with the significant capital being made available through a growing network of impact investors. Charly and Lisa Kleissner’s personal values, and their conviction of the potential of social enterprises and social entrepreneurs, helps inform how we make investments, and how we identify the most promising innovations for positive social and environmental change in our world.

Please note that the Foundation does not accept unsolicited grant proposals. We make grants only on a proactive basis, and our grants complement our active Impact Investing portfolio.
