UBS support for charitable organizations

Through the UBS Donations scheme, UBS supports charitable projects set up by organizations based in Switzerland. It focuses on projects which enable the beneficiaries to improve their living conditions and thereby improve their quality of life by helping them to help themselves. An example of such an organization can be seen in the case study. We invite organizations which believe they meet the following requirements to submit their projects.

Case study

UBS considers the following criteria when selecting projects:
