Let's talk about money....
We consider it vital to be transparent and use our funding efficiently. After all, you are trusting us with your money and want your support to help make a change.
- I donate 100 francs. How much of that actually goes to the cause? If you donate CHF 100, CHF 84 will flow into our projects. To put that in perspective, at least 65% of funding must flow into a project to secure ZEWO certification in Switzer-land. We meet this requirement, which means we’re ZEWO certified.
- What are the expenses for salaries and fundraising? We spend 9.5% on salaries and 6.5% on infrastructure and fundraising. These proportions can vary from year to year. The more we are able to directly invest in a project, the lower the per-centage for expenditures becomes.
Collaboration with foundations, public bodies, and companies
We work with foundations, public institutions and companies. Would your foundation like to support a specific international cooperation project? Is your company thinking about corporate social responsibility or philanthropy? We’d be delighted to get in touch and explain the options for a collaboration. You can get in contact using the following form.
