Migros Ticino supports culture

The culture percentage is a firm commitment made in the company's bylaws for over sixty years. Perhaps unique in the world, it means that, every year, 0.5 percent of the turnover - approximately 2.5 million francs on average - is allocated to cultural, social and educational projects and initiatives. 

The particular form of corporate patronage represented by the Culture Percentage is unique in terms of the continuity, planning, breadth and quality of the proposals, and has made Migros Ticino a leading player in the cultural life of Italian-speaking Switzerland.

The cultural season programme, which regularly starts in September and ends in June, normally consists of over 100 events scattered throughout our region, and is rich and varied, with support provided for high quality events that embrace all forms of culture and artistic expression, with the aim of involving a diverse audience, creating opportunities to have fun, discover, create, come together and reflect.
