The International Latsis Foundation

A non-profit public utility institution, the Foundation was established in 1975 under the aegis of John S. Latsis. Touched by the warm welcome extended to him and his family in Switzerland, he wished to express his gratitude through a foundation based in Fribourg from 1975 to 1990, and since then in Geneva.
