November 21/22, 2017 | Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue, Rüschlikon/Zurich

On 21 and 22 November 2017, corporate foundations from across Europe met in the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue in Rüschlikon. Representatives from approximately 100 foundations came together at this, the second meeting of corporate foundations under the auspices of SwissFoundations, the association of Swiss grant-making foundations, and DAFNE, the European network of national donor and foundation associations. The objective – to exchange knowledge and best practices in an exclusive framework and to discuss challenging issues – was met with flying colours. Special attention was given to the relationship between the foundations and their founding companies as this influences the commitment of the foundations as regards current challenges.
