F.G. Pfister Kultur- und Sozialstiftung.

Committed to Society.

Purpose

What the Foundation Supports.

The F.G. Pfister Kultur- und Sozialstiftung supports projects, institutions, and initiatives that serve the public good in Switzerland. Its focus is on social, cultural, creative, humanitarian, health-promoting, and educational projects. Particular attention is given to projects that strengthen disadvantaged groups and sections of the population.

The Foundation operates on a politically and religiously neutral basis. It has no commercial or self-help purpose. Grants are intended to serve a social purpose, not to promote a brand, an individual, or an organization.

Approach

How We Provide Support

The Foundation provides targeted support with a focus on concrete impact. Each year, it supports two to three selected projects as a main partner. In addition, it provides smaller grants to initiatives that align with the Foundation’s purpose. Multi-year partnerships are possible where they are expected to have a lasting impact.

We assess applications based on their social impact, organizational reliability, and transparent funding. Those submitting a project should clearly explain what it aims to achieve, what budget is planned, and which other funding bodies have been approached or are already involved.
