Finances and transparency

We are transparent. That is why we provide comprehensive information about our finances, adhere to strict accounting standards and have our organization certified.

Key figures

Solidly and sustainably funded.

A positive trend in donation revenues and our strong cost awareness ensure that all our aid projects, as well as our organization, are sustainably financed in the long term. This also allows us to channel an above-average proportion of funds into our project work.

45,378,723 francs Donations received since 2006

Our donation revenues have developed positively during this time, a sign of our impact-driven work.

74% of the donated amount goes to projects

We thus fulfill the requirements of the ZEWO seal of approval, which sets high standards for the transparent use of funds.

3,359,684 francs Donation volume in 2023

Our operating income is made up of countless private donations and contributions from foundations and the public sector.

"Innovations are approached deliberately. The example of rebranding highlights not only the innovation itself but also the courage to make long-term decisions and take risks."

Governance

Certainly transparent.

Earmarking

We use donations according to the specified purpose. This commitment ensures that your money is used exactly as you intended.

Financial reporting

Our financial reporting complies with the recognized Swiss GAAP FER 21 standard and is externally audited through a limited review.

Bylaws

Our bylaws clearly define the purpose of our association. This gives donors the assurance that we do exactly what we communicate, ensuring donations have the greatest possible impact. You can download our bylaws here

 

Certifications

Certifications demonstrate the transparency of fund allocation and communication (ZEWO quality seal) as well as the quality of our processes (ISO standard). Ongoing re-certifications ensure that this remains the case.
