Use of donations

Fondation Hirondelle is ZEWO-certified (https://zewo.ch). Fondation ZEWO is the body responsible for certifying non-profit organisations of public interest that collect donations in Switzerland. It guarantees trust and transparency with regard to donations.

As a matter of principle, Fondation Hirondelle is entitled to use donations freely within the framework of the foundation’s objectives (donations not earmarked for a specific purpose). By making a donation to Fondation Hirondelle, you are supporting all of our projects. This is essential if we are to be able to adapt our funding in the event of a crisis while ensuring the long-term continuity of our projects. If you make a donation on the website via a sub-site where a specific donation purpose is indicated (for example a project, a programme or a humanitarian emergency), or respond to a specific donation appeal letter, Fondation Hirondelle will use the donation as described on this sub-site or letter (donations earmarked for a purpose).

Your generosity enables us to provide impartial and reliable information to people facing crises, so that they can take action in their daily lives and as citizens. Every franc counts and advances our mission.

Do you have any questions? Just get in touch! 

Sarah Rohner-Jermann, Head of Private Fundraising, is available from Monday to Thursday.
