Following the press release issued a few weeks ago, the English version of the report "The philanthropic sector in Geneva", produced by the Geneva Centre for Philanthropy (GCP) on behalf of the Département de l'économie et de l'emploi, is now available. This translation meets the expectations of Geneva’s philanthropic community, which is largely English-speaking, and makes the findings of this landmark study more accessible to all international stakeholders active in the canton.
The report highlights the exceptional dynamism of Geneva’s 1,367 foundations, which together hold assets exceeding 25 billion Swiss francs and distribute nearly 9 billion francs in grants each year. These organisations make a significant contribution to Geneva’s prosperity, quality of life and international standing, while supporting vital development projects worldwide. Building on these findings, the Département de l'économie et de l'emploi is currently working on a roadmap to further strengthen and facilitate philanthropic activity in the canton.
