Switzerland Foundation

  • A Swiss foundation can be registered with a minimum capitalization of CHF 20,000, which can take the form of cash or other asset types. The foundation is run by a Board, with a requirement to have at least one Board member in Switzerland; it is additionally possible to apply with the Switzerland tax office for charitable status, provided the foundation is a non-profit organization and finance humanitarian, health, ecological, educational, scientific or cultural activities and projects. Upon approval, the foundation is legally tax exempt in Switzerland.
