Chantal Götz

lic.iur./MAES/CAS-HSG, Executive Director

Chantal Götz has led the Fidel Götz Foundation since 1999, guiding its evolution from a traditional grantmaking foundation towards an organisation that initiates and develops its own educational programmes.

Driven by a strong commitment to social justice, gender equality and education, she initiated the African Adolescent Girl Fund (AGF), placing girls’ education, leadership development and empowerment at the centre of the Foundation’s work.

Her approach to philanthropy goes beyond providing financial support. She focuses on developing leadership capabilities, strengthening local ownership and building sustainable structures that enable people and organisations to drive change independently.

With a background in law and international development, she combines strategic vision with hands-on engagement, advocating for accountability, measurable impact and lasting change.
