VHB-Stiftung

The Veronika & Hugo Bohny Foundation (VHB-Stiftung) is a Swiss foundation dedicated to supporting children, families, culture, responsible enterprise, and public life in Switzerland and abroad. Its work emphasizes helping people become self-reliant, while also providing contributions to relieve hardship. Education and social support account for the largest share of its recent funding, with particular attention to organizations that help children and young people progress.

The foundation also promotes entrepreneurial initiative and responsibility, including through innovation awards and the Lab Science Award. Its cultural support helps preserve Swiss cultural heritage, including historically or architecturally significant buildings and objects, and may benefit artists and cultural institutions. In addition, it funds studies, events, and publications that advance political, economic, and social understanding.

The foundation offers a funding application process for eligible projects across these areas. Applications must be well justified, supported by adequate documentation, and submitted by an institution rather than an individual. Its foundation council oversees activities in pursuit of the organization’s charitable purposes
