The implementation of the foundation's purpose is carried out through direct financial support of individual projects, aid organizations or institutions, in particular the Swiss Mountain Aid Foundation or selected projects or funds of the Swiss Mountain Aid Foundation. The foundation operates throughout Switzerland within the framework of its purpose. The foundation has a non-profit character, does not pursue any commercial purpose and does not strive for profit. The board of trustees alone decides on the allocation of services, without being obliged to justify its decision.
