Support Us

The World Ethic Forum cultivates a rich and diverse ecosystem to support our work.

Our long-term efforts rely primarily on a funding circle gathering individual donors and philanthropic organisations. We value personal relationships with each of them, and invite all to come together once a year in a circle that complements our team and Firekeepers, to deepen the relational fabric that is intrinsic to our mission.

We pay particular thanks to the 3FO Foundation for their ongoing major partnership.
Our supporters include a broader range of private individuals and organisations, as well as municipalities and government bodies. They support us on a year-to-year basis, particularly for our public events and specific activities.

We are committed to ethical funding practices. Some of our supporters prefer to remain anonymous, but all are personally known to us. None are, or have been, involved in industries such as oil, tobacco, or other sectors that conflict with our mission and values.

We would love to discuss possible involvement with you.

Legacies and Inheritances

The 2023 Swiss inheritance law gives you the opportunity to dispose of half of your estate freely. A legacy donation in favour of the World Ethic Forum will allow us to plan for the long term. Of course, your loved ones come first, but the available quota gives you the additional opportunity to support a global culture of care and kinship.

We would love to explore with you.
