More legacies and smaller proceeds from fundraising
In the fiscal year 2024/2025, Winterhilfe Switzerland was once again able to count on great solidarity: the total of received donations rose to CHF 6,334,780 (previous year: CHF 5,610,987). Winterhilfe Switzerland received more legacies and contributions from foundations, but the proceeds from fundraising fell from CHF 3,686,513 in the previous year to CHF 3,323,935.
Promoting health and social participation
In the reporting year, Winterhilfe incurred project expenses of CHF 6,658,059. The most cost-intensive projects are healthcare costs, child support, and clothing assistance. Winterhilfe alleviates financial emergencies for people on the poverty line. Those burdened by rising costs of living must forgo much. With its services, Winterhilfe contributes to the health and social participation of those affected, enabling relief and moments of happiness.
