The purpose of the foundation is to prevent financial hardship and support active employees of UBS in Switzerland who have fallen into financial difficulties; retired employees of UBS in Switzerland; former employees of UBS in Switzerland who have lost their jobs in Switzerland due to UBS restructuring measures; spouses and registered partners of the above-mentioned groups. The marriage or registered partnership must have existed at the time of leaving UBS or at the time of retirement and still exist at the time of application. The foundation has a non-profit character and does not pursue any economic purposes. In addition, it can also establish other foundations within the framework of its own purpose or a partial purpose. The funds available in individual cases should be combined in essence. It is essential to ensure that the activities and commitments of the community and other institutions in this area are not made redundant or replaced, but rather supplemented, and the foundation's funds are used where others are unable to support and promote the aforementioned purposes.
