Your organisation reaches a large number of people in a city, canton or several regions with its services. You already have an established activity that supports social cohesion. The organisational development must be strategically justified and strengthen the organisation in the long term. 

You can submit an application. To do this, register on our application portal and fill out the form. Click here to go to the online application portal.

Your organisation is an association, a charitable foundation or another non-profit organisation.

               We support the selected organisations in their organisational development with a contribution between CHF 5,000 and CHF 30,000.

This is important:
- You have clarified the most important questions for the organisational development.
- You have determined which steps you will implement and when.
- You know which people and institutions you would like to work with for the organisational development.
 

If your organisational development takes longer than one year, you can still use the money after one year. However, the financial contribution is only paid out once. 

The funded organisational development must be completed within 18 months.

No. You only receive the financial contribution once. 

No. You can submit your application whenever you like. The commission will review your application at the next meeting. The meetings take place every two months.

You must submit your application at least four months in advance before you start the organisational development.

The commission, consisting of the Social affairs team, decides which projects receive financial support. The members have broad expertise in the area of society. 

The commission meets six times a year. You will therefore receive a response within two to three months of submitting your application. The commission will inform you via e-mail.

 You will be notified immediately via e-mail when the commission has made its decision. Has the commission decided to support your organisation? Then you will soon receive the money.

If the commission decides to support your organisational development, you will receive a positive response and the money will be paid out soon afterwards.
