Protection, Relief and Hope for People in Crisis
Children, women and families suffering from displacement, hunger, disasters, disease, war and violence need protection and concrete support. The forgotten crises, which receive little or no media attention, are our main concern.
We provide support where help is most urgently needed. For many years, we have been working closely with specialised and established organisations to improve the lives of those affected.
Diversity as Strength. Integration and Equal Opportunities in Switzerland
Mutual understanding, openness and tolerance are the foundation for peaceful coexistence. We understand the growing diversity in Switzerland as both an enrichment and a responsibility. The aim of our funding is to reduce social disadvantage and strengthen equal opportunities.
We pay particular attention to promoting the integration of young people with a migration background, whereby we consider education to be a key factor. By working together with our partner organisations, we promote an inclusive society in which disadvantaged young people can realise their potential and develop prospects for a life in dignity.

Old Places, New Life

Our support is focused on the restoration of cultural assets that have a strong social benefit for society. We combine the old with the modern by not only restoring buildings, but also revitalising them. We are open to pioneering project ideas with a national impact.
