DOING GOOD – EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY

Fondation des Fondateurs is an independent, charitable umbrella foundation that offers private donors with small, medium-sized and large volumes of funds the opportunity to make grants efficiently, cost-effectively, and professionally in support of causes and initiatives they favor.
Private donors often underestimate the financial, administrative, and legal costs involved in the operation of an independent foundation. The assets of most Swiss grantmaking foundations are too small to effectively fulfill their objective. Fondation des Fondateurs offers a sensible alternative.
Fondation des Fondateurs is subject to the Swiss Federal Supervisory Board for Foundations and complies with Swiss GAAP FER 21 accounting standards as well as with the Swiss Foundation Code.
