About Us
Our Story
The Katija Neuber Fund was established in late 2022 by a group of high school students who wanted to make a difference in the lives of other young people by our Founder & Managing Director, Jaewon Choi. The fund was named after Katija Neuber, the beloved cousin of the Managing Director.
From a young age, Katija was diagnosed with cerebral palsy which made movements difficult. But Katija never let the condition stop her from pursuing her passions. She loved learning, reading, and spending time with her cousins. Katija taught them so much about perseverance, compassion, and living life to the fullest.
We started the Katija Neuber Fund to provide scholarships for youth programs, support cerebral palsy research, and promote neurodiversity awareness. We aim to aid people like Katija, and youths across the world through our investments and grants.
