Foundations and philanthropy

Genau passend – zum Stiftungszweck oder zu den eigenen Herzensthemen. Genau so sollen die von Ihnen unterstützten Projekte sein. Als agile Hilfsorganisation tragen wir diesem Bedürfnis Rechnung mit punktgenauen Finanzierungsanträgen.

Three reasons

Lasting impact.

Bleibende Wirkung: Qualität unserer auf Ganzheitlichkeit und Langfristigkeit ausgelegten Hilfsprojekte. Unsere Stärke: Ihre nahe Begleitung und die Abstimmung auf Ihre zentralen Anliegen.
  • Impact

    Success in your core business.

    Ihr Ziel ist es, mit Ihrem Beitrag möglichst grosse Wirkung zu erzielen – und das entsprechend Ihrem Wunschthema oder -ort. Genau dabei können wir Sie begleiten. Unsere Projekte erzeugen messbare Wirkung in einigen der am meisten vernachlässigten Gebieten dieser Erde.

  • Proximity

    Reaching the goal together.

    Nahe am Stiftungszweck, nahe an Ihrem Herzensanliegen – das zeichnet uns aus. Egal, ob bei der Erstellung eines Stiftungsantrags oder im persönlichen Austausch zum Verstehen Ihrer Spendenbedürfnisse: Wir verfolgen Ihre Ziele – gemeinsam mit Ihnen.

  • Quality

    Proven quality.

    ZEWO seal of approval, ISO certification, CHS Alliance label - they all confirm the quality of our fundraising and use of funds. Perhaps even more important: our many years of experience and countless projects that have demonstrably brought about sustainable change.

"I am convinced that ena is also active in regions where work is made more difficult by external circumstances, e.g. unrest, forces of nature or poor infrastructure. That's precisely where we as a foundation are needed."

Simply fitting.

Perfectly fitting, straightforward, and honest: these are the principles of our work—especially in our journey with foundations and philanthropy.

    Proposal

    Your foundation's purpose and personal mission in focus.

    Sie erhalten als Stiftung einen Antrag von uns oder sind als Philanthropin oder Philanthrop mit uns im Gespräch. Eines gilt in beiden Fällen: Unsere Vorschläge gestalten wir so, dass sie genau zu Ihrer Stiftung oder Ihrem Herzensanliegen passen. Das fällt uns als überschaubarer und naher Hilfsorganisation besonders leicht.

    Reporting

    Honest - and just as desired.

    Authenticity and honesty are two of our values. We do not sugarcoat the impact of our projects and provide you with timely and complete information. We do this in the form, scope and regularity that you require.

Possibilities

According to your core concern.

Project-related investment

Has a particular project caught your attention? We can help you to support it specifically. Would you like to support a certain sub-project? That’s also possible.

Country-related investment

Is your core interest one of our project countries—Bangladesh, Malawi, Peru, Zambia, South Sudan, or Uganda? If so, we can show you how to support disadvantaged people across projects in a country-specific way.

Thematic-based investment

Gut möglich, dass Ihr Herzensanliegen einem spezifischen Thema gilt. Mit den vier Grundthemen Lebensgrundlagen, Bildung, Gesundheit und Friedensförderung finden wir bestimmt dasjenige, das Ihnen entspricht.

Humanitarian investment

With the Emergency Relief Fund, you have the opportunity to support people in urgent need, regardless of specific disasters or crises. We also use your contributions to respond to crises and disasters that are not in the public spotlight.

Investment in emergency aid projects

One crisis follows another. Wherever an urgent situation grabs your attention, we—or our partners—may already be helping, and we are grateful for your support.

Quality and transparency

Our certificates oblige us to maintain high standards.

We carry out our global aid projects not only with great dedication but also with the highest standards of quality and transparency to ensure your donation has the greatest impact. This is confirmed by various certifications, and through the KoGe umbrella organization, ena is accredited with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
