The foundation aims to provide care for physically and mentally disabled children and adults by supporting non-profit organizations in the establishment, expansion and maintenance of cost-effective treatment centers, homes and nursing homes, as well as other facilities and institutions serving the care or support of physically and mentally disabled individuals. The foundation also provides one-time or periodic support contributions to individual physically or mentally disabled persons or groups to alleviate economic distress or enable medically and socially indicated special treatment or care. In particular, the foundation pursues its purpose in the Zurich region and, to the extent that its resources permit, without geographical restriction throughout Switzerland.
