The purpose of the foundation is primarily to serve as a central administrative body for non-profit organizations that serve the public good and are not profit-driven. The foundation provides centralized management and administrative services for such organizations, optimizing their processes, strengthening their governance, and increasing their efficiency. This enables non-profit organizations to achieve significant added value both within Switzerland and internationally. The foundation also awards grants to non-profit organizations that aim to promote, support, and develop, among other things, education and science, entrepreneurship, art and culture, media and media literacy, health, welfare and social welfare, technology, as well as environmental, nature, and animal protection.
