The Foundation

Generous gifts and inheritances are often made out to UNICEF with the desire to help over the long term and leave behind something with a lasting impact. To facilitate this, the Foundation of the Committee for UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein was established in 2000. The foundation, which is based in Zurich, manages such donations over a longer period of time and continuously distributes sums to the Committee strictly in accordance with the donor’s wishes. From there, they are used in a targeted manner to carry out UNICEF programs worldwide.
