1. Grants are to be used for their specified purpose
The funds granted are tied to a particular purpose. Beneficiaries undertake to use the funds only for the approved project or sub-project pursuant to the grant agreement. Any changes to content, schedules, or participants must be discussed with us. Planned changes must be reported to us at once, as any change may result in the right to agreed funding being forfeited. Continued funding of a modified project is conditional on our renewed written agreement. The Foundation reserves the right to withhold agreed funds or reclaim funds already paid out if changes are not approved.

2. Repayment of grants on cancellation of a project
Should a project not be implemented, the Foundation reserves the right to claim back funds already paid out. If a project is cancelled or not implemented, beneficiaries must inform us promptly and in writing and refund the amount already transferred.

3. Grant agreement
A grant agreement is concluded where the funding exceeds CHF 10,000 per year. By signing the grant agreement with legally binding effect, beneficiaries consent to the Foundation’s conditions for grants. The signed original must be returned to the Foundation within two weeks of receipt.

4. Confirmation of receipt of payment
Beneficiaries must confirm receipt of any payment by e-mail within 10 days.

5. Instalments
Beneficiaries accept that grants are paid out in instalments. The dates on which the instalments are paid are set out in the grant agreement. Instalments are paid only once all obligations of the beneficiaries are fulfilled towards the Foundation.

6. Communication
Beneficiaries undertake to mention the Foundation’s support in all project-related media activities (both on- and off-line). Supported projects must display our logo or name. The logo can be found at “Downloads”. The use and placement of the logo must clearly indicate which project or sub-project is supported. Images and film material sent as part of the application or reporting process may be published on the website with the note “pad”.

7. Reporting
Beneficiaries must report regularly on the progress of the project. For single grants, a final report must be submitted no later than three months after completion. The information sheet on final reports applies. Where projects run for more than one year, additional written interim reports must be submitted in accordance with the grant agreement.

8. Final statement of account
A detailed final statement of account must accompany the final report. It must be based on the budget plan accompanying the application and must make it possible to compare actual expenditure with budgeted expenditure.

9. Publications by the Foundation
Beneficiaries consent to public reporting (both on- and off-line) by the Foundation about the project or the institution.

10. Exclusion of liability
Liability for the content and conduct of projects and events rests exclusively with the beneficiaries.

11. Data protection
The protection of personal data is important to the Foundation. The Foundation complies with applicable legal regulations on data protection and data security in Switzerland. Personal data provided will be collected, processed and used only for the purposes stated in the data protection notice or communicated by other means.
