Description
1) Objective
The Swiss-based Accordeos Foundation provides financial project support to private and public institutions in Switzerland and abroad. Their programmatic concerns are projects that deal with (1) disadvantaged women and adolescents in support of education, health, income generation, and empowerment, (2) support for self-help and the struggle against poverty, and (3) ecological sustainability (incl. research and projects on climate change and renewable energy).
Their thematic interest covers:
- Sponsorship of projects for women and adolescents: The foundation supports projects which contribute to an improvement in living conditions for disadvantaged women and adolescents regardless of their religious and ethnic affiliation. The projects should boost the self-confidence of the persons concerned, stimulate their holistic development, respect their dignity and motivate and empower them for self-help. The projects should follow the principle of sustainability. Main focuses in terms of content are education, health, creation of income, raising awareness and empowerment.
- Sponsorship of organ building and organ culture: The word ‘organ’ refers to the traditional pipe organ. The focus of the foundation is aimed only at organs with superior qualities. The foundation supports projects which create better conditions or remove obstacles in order that new organs can be built and old ones be restored continuously. All services of the foundation are also intended indirectly to publicise organ culture.
- Sponsorship of the improvement of ecological sustainability: The foundation wants to contribute to improving the balance between ecology, economy and social life. It covers: research and development projects that aim to achieve economic utilisation of renewable energy; research and development projects that improve the efficiency of energy consumption; research and development projects that aim to reduce anthropogenic global warming; research and development projects that aim to prevent harmful consequences for humans and nature due to global warming; projects that preserve animal and plant species as well as ecosystems which are endangered by human activity; and ecological compensation areas such as nature reserves or afforestation.
2) Eligibility
Non-profit organisations are eligible to apply.
3) Location
