The Etzin Foundation

Established in memory of Bernard Etzin, dedicated to comfort, care and dignity where they are needed most.

IN MEMORY

For Bernard

The Etzin Foundation was created by Justin Etzin in memory of his father, Bernard Etzin, and it carries his name into work he would have recognized: quiet, practical acts of care for people in difficult circumstances.

The foundation’s guiding belief is simple. If you have the ability to contribute, you have the duty to act. That principle decides where the foundation works, what it funds, and why it exists at all.

THE WORK

Comfort and Care

From Mahé to Manhattan, Justin’s ventures span investment, healthcare, hospitality and risk, united by a focus on the Indian Ocean region he calls home.

Unforgettable Moments

The foundation creates meaningful experiences for people in palliative care, moments of joy for individuals and families in the hardest season of their lives, when what matters most is time well spent.

Medical Support

The foundation funds life-saving medical equipment for hospitals in need, from diagnostic laboratory equipment to 180,000 auto-disable syringes donated to the Government of Seychelles for its national Covid-19 vaccination programme.

ALONGSIDE

Organizations Supported

amfAR · The Red Cross · Make-A-Wish · Urban Dove · The Prostate Cancer Foundation
Over the years, the foundation has supported research, youth and health organizations whose work reflects its own mission.
AT HOME IN THE SEYCHELLES

Strengthening Island Healthcare

For a nation of islands, medical capacity is a lifeline. The foundation’s donations of laboratory and vaccination equipment to the Seychelles Ministry of Health support the country’s ability to carefor its own people, on its own shores.

INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN

Personally Funded, Nothing Asked

Like the One Ocean, One Future Foundation, The Etzin Foundation is funded entirely by Justin Etzin and accepts no outside donations. No fundraising, no campaigns, only the work itself.
