The Sedinum Foundation is committed to supporting people and the environment and thus contributing to a better future.
The Sedinum Foundation is a charitable foundation.
We want to support young people in developing their own potential and playing a positive, supportive and active role in the community. For funded projects, we pay attention to sustainable financing and an impact-oriented approach to development and implementation.
At the Sedinum Foundation, we support projects in Switzerland and Germany.
We support and educate young people in need and educational institutions at all levels. We also support projects in the areas of environmental protection, nature conservation and animal welfare. We are committed to the preservation and restoration of historical and cultural sites worthy of protection. We promote and support medical research and development, particularly in the field of ophthalmology.
Our aim is to bring about sustainable and positive change in these areas. We do not support public projects, political or religious projects or projects of international organizations.
