The foundation serves exclusively charitable purposes. The foundation aims to support the care of and assistance to Swiss citizens - at least in the second generation - in social need (in particular, unemployed, single, homeless, elderly and/or mentally disabled people) by providing financial support contributions to bridge a temporary emergency situation (in particular, medical and healing costs not covered by health insurance, contributions to their rent or other living expenses) or by making housing available. According to the will of the founders, any donations to the beneficiaries are explicitly intended as additional services to any existing claims against public social welfare institutions. Furthermore, the foundation aims to promote animal-assisted therapy forms (dog therapy, hippotherapy, etc.), in particular by supporting the training of animals that facilitate the daily lives of disabled people (such as guide dogs, etc.). Furthermore, the foundation aims to promote animal welfare, in particular by providing financial resources and suitable housing and/or usable areas for specific projects of other animal welfare organizations (such as animal shelters, sanctuaries, etc.) or for the operation of its own facility. Furthermore, the foundation aims to realize private humanitarian aid. The foundation can also engage in other activities that aim to achieve the foundation's purpose.
