Swiss Re Foundation

Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing environment, the foundation aims to alleviate social and humanitarian problems worldwide and make societies more resilient. The foundation supports efforts to combat social, economic and ecological imbalances caused, among other things, by macro-developments such as natural disasters, climate change, population growth and pan-epidemics. In order to make a lasting contribution to social development, the foundation can support projects, institutions or organizations active in the fields of education and training, research and innovation, development aid as well as the promotion of social responsibility and social and political discourse. The foundation can operate both supra-regionally and locally in the prevention of risks, adaptation to changing risk situations and combating the consequences of disasters. It supports volunteer work and other activities of social and societal relevance. The foundation is politically and religiously neutral and pursues neither commercial nor self-help purposes.
