Lily Foundation

The foundation's purpose is to provide assistance on various levels (financial, structural, and moral) to organizations involved with people and families in need, poverty, or neglect, primarily in the canton of Vaud but also elsewhere in Switzerland and occasionally abroad. This is achieved by: acting as a facilitation service for these social organizations (helping to professionalize their services); acting as a liaison service for organizations (working in isolation) and promoting networks and synergies; acting as an encouragement and support service for social organizations (often alone in their actions and without a network); and providing financial support during specific phases (start-up phase). (For a complete purpose, see the foundation's charter).
