Our Donors

Avenir Suisse stands for an open and progressive Switzerland. Our extensive Donor Group allows us to research independently and develop liberal reform policies that increase the prosperity of the general population.

We are proud and grateful for the generous support from all economic sectors and regions of Switzerland.

About Us

Avenir Suisse is privately funded. Its Donor Group includes small and large companies from all economic sectors and regions of Switzerland, as well as private individuals. Thanks to this wide backing, the think tank is free of special interests and is able to address uncomfortable issues and political taboos.

The Support Foundation was created in 2005 to secure Avenir Suisse’s long-term financial support through active engagement with donors from a broad range of economic sectors.

The Support Foundation is officially registered in the Swiss Commercial Register and subject to audits by federal authorities as specified by Article 80ff of the federal Civil Code. In accordance with the tax administration of Canton Berne, since 12 July 2005 all contributions to the funding of the Donor Foundation are tax-exempt.

Please find more information about our work in our Annual Report and strategy brochure 2020 to 2023.

Activities and Strategy Brochure

Our think tank continued to think hard about where we are and where we’re headed. Inspiring and challenging, we provided plenty of food for thought, and in some cases managed to provoke heated debate. Download our 2022 Annual Report here to get an overview of our work last year.

You can find out more about our strategy and organizational structures in the “Strategy 2020 to 2023” brochure. Our research focuses on five “drivers” which we see as pillars for the further development of the “Prosperity House Switzerland.” You can download the brochure here.
