  • health (especially the promotion of mental and social health)
  • promoting creativity
  • early-years education
  • life and family models
  • migration/integration
  • new and open learning cultures
  • neighbourhood development
  • volunteering and civil society
  • equal opportunity
  • social cohesion
  • social participation
  • climate-neutral society
  • people & digitalisation

When assessing projects we place particular emphasis on sustainability, professionalism, good governance, effectiveness, gender & diversity and the proportionate use of resources.

Which form of funding is the right fit for your venture?

  

You have 3 options

Sponsorship is available at 3 levels: national, regional and international (for NGOs). To get started, pick the most suitable option for your project.

1. My project is national in scope 

The Migros Culture Percentage supports projects that have a nationwide or supraregional impact or a clear, exemplary pilot function.

2. My project is regional or local in scope

Is your venture regional or local in scope? Regional funding by the Migros Culture Percentage is the responsibility of the ten Migros cooperatives, with each cooperative setting different priorities. Locate the Migros cooperative for your area and find out whether and how it might support your project.

Please enter the postcode where your project mainly happens (except for camps: postcode of association's headquarters).

3. For NGOs in development cooperation

Are you a non-profit organisation as defined in your articles of association, working in international development cooperation, domiciled in Switzerland and with several years of experience? And does your organisation have an annual turnover of at least 300,000 francs? Every year, the Migros Aid Fund enables around 20 projects that benefit humans and nature and adopt a professional, sustainable approach.
