Being an independent foundation, we are able to take a long-term view and give support in areas neglected by the public sector, commercial sponsors or charitable organisations that collect money from the public. In order to be able to do our work better, we promote innovative approaches and enter into partnerships with long-term potential.

Our Foundation is subject to the supervisory authority of the Swiss Federal Department of the Interior and is a member of SwissFoundations, the Swiss association of charitable grant-making foundations.
