The funding strategy of the Erika and Conrad Schnyder Foundation focuses on three core areas: emergency relief, poverty and inequality, and cultural heritage. In the area of emergency relief, the Foundation supports organisations that provide protection and practical assistance to people facing acute crises. The focus is on particularly vulnerable groups, especially children and families. In the area of Poverty and Inequalities, the Foundation supports projects in Switzerland that reduce social disadvantage among children and young people, strengthen education and open up opportunities for their future. Within its cultural heritage funding area, the Foundation supports the preservation and restoration of historic buildings and places, provided they are publicly accessible and remain active through social or cultural use. The Erika and Conrad Schnyder Foundation works with a long-term perspective and selects its project partners with care. It accompanies projects with a clear focus on impact and responsibility. The Foundation is a member of SwissFoundations and aligns its work with the Swiss Foundation Code.
