The foundation exercises the function of a company foundation by holding participations in companies with the aim of securing the long-term preservation of these companies and promoting their healthy development. To this end, it can hold majority participations to exert a controlling influence on a company or, by holding a minority participation, assume an anchor function to ensure stability and continuity in the ownership structure of a company. In its orientation, the foundation strives to acquire participations in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that generate industrial or artisanal value creation, specifically in order to promote the preservation and expansion of such workplaces and jobs, with a focus, but not limited to, the Appenzellerland and adjacent regions. In addition to acquiring participations, the foundation can also grant financing loans to the participating companies, financially support the training and further education of employees working in participating companies, or specific projects of participating companies, or generally provide for the welfare of employees in participating companies, especially in emergency situations.
