The foundation's primary purpose is to support people in need, as well as animals and sustainable nature and environmental projects, all with a connection to Switzerland, ideally to Northwestern Switzerland. Support for individuals is intended to counteract personal, family, health-related or societal disadvantages. In this regard, grants can be made to those affected as well as to suitable institutions. Support for animals and nature and environmental projects must be made with reference to the people behind them and who indirectly benefit from the services provided, such as infrastructure projects in geographically disadvantaged areas. The foundation has a non-profit character and does not pursue any commercial purpose.
