AnBeSPo

The AnBeSPo Foundation is a charitable Swiss foundation established in 2019 and based in Walchwil, in the canton of Zug. Guided by the idea of building bridges to opportunity, it supports clearly defined projects that connect people with education, participation and entrepreneurship. Its funding focuses on Switzerland, with eligible projects also taking place in Germany and Austria.

The foundation works across three areas. In education, it backs initiatives that help children and young people access schooling, additional learning and vocational pathways, including digital learning opportunities. For people with physical, intellectual or psychological disabilities, it supports projects promoting independence, inclusion and quality of life, such as accessible education and employment, inclusive sports and cultural activities, and equipment or infrastructure for institutions. In entrepreneurship, it encourages young people’s initiative through start-up and mentoring programmes, student businesses, enterprise workshops and development projects for young ventures.

AnBeSPo funds projects submitted by schools, associations, nonprofit organisations, institutions and young businesses, not individuals. Applications should set out clear goals, beneficiaries, timelines, budgets and responsible organisations.
