Limmat Stiftung

Foundation in Zurich

The Limmat Foundation is the oldest umbrella foundation in Switzerland, founded in Zurich in 1972. It acts as a bridge between donors and beneficiaries ('Bridging Worlds') and offers a unique structure for philanthropic projects. With its established project center, it enables donors to set up their own sub-foundations cost-effectively under its umbrella without having to establish their own foundation. The focus is on educational projects, in particular the training of trainers and the advancement of women and children. The foundation operates from a historic villa in Zurich-Fluntern and works with a network of over 300 local partners in more than 80 countries to provide sustainable help for self-help.

Frequently asked questions about Limmat Stiftung

The Limmat Foundation supports philanthropic educational and social projects worldwide to improve the living conditions of people in need. What is special is that donors can set up their own tailor-made sub-foundation under the umbrella of the Limmat Foundation without the administrative burden of an independent foundation.

The requirement of non-profitability must be fulfilled. There is no fixed minimum capital for a sub-foundation; however, the endowment must be commensurate with the goal and the intended projects.

The foundation decides on support according to professional and not religious criteria. It rejects any form of discrimination. The impartial attitude is a consequence of the spiritual motives of the initiators (inspired by Christian values and Opus Dei), but the review of projects is independent.

The Limmat Foundation consists of the Foundation Board, the Executive Board, and the Sub-foundation Boards. The Foundation Board oversees the project center and general tasks. In addition, there is a Patronage Committee with personalities from business, politics, and sports.

You can donate by bank transfer to the account at PostFinance. It is possible to specify a specific purpose (project), otherwise the funds will be used where they are most urgently needed.
