Your donation makes a difference – support people in financial difficulties
Express your solidarity with vulnerable people! Help families and individuals in Switzerland who have fallen on extremely hard times owing to illness, unemployment or unexpected expenses. Your donation enables us to provide help quickly, before a temporary issue turns into a life of poverty.
Why your help matters so much
In Switzerland, more than 700 000 people are currently living in poverty, including many children, single parents and elderly people. Often, just one high medical bill or an unexpected need to move house is all it takes to upset the fragile balance of a household budget. Many of those affected receive no social assistance: they earn just too much to be eligible, but too little to cover any unexpected costs.
It’s unacceptable for families to have to go without other essentials because of a doctor's bill.

How your donation helps
Your donation enables one-off financial assistance of up to CHF 1000 to be provided in acute emergencies. It is granted quickly and without red tape, either directly to those concerned or through the social services. This targeted support is provided only when no other resources are available. Each year, about 1400 people receive this assistance.
You as a corporate donor
You can support the SRC project with a donation and express your solidarity as a company. An in-house fundraising campaign is one way to involve your staff in your CSR commitment. We can set up a website for you where your staff can make a donation in just a few clicks.
