After 11 editions and more than 275 participants in Romandie, Swiss Philanthropy Foundation continues to organise the Master Class, in partnership with the Center for Philanthropy Studies of Basel University (CEPS) and the Geneva Centre for Philanthropy of the University of Geneva (UNIGE).
The goal of this cross-training is the acquisition of tools and practical knowledge that allow you to choose the right philanthropic vehicle, to create and manage a foundation, and to meet the demands of tomorrow.
It will enable an understanding of current philanthropic issues and the overall theoretical framework of a foundation, as well as its implementation, through case studies and testimonials on key governance issues of the Foundation Board, on management and distribution of the foundation heritage. The legal, governance, asset management and strategy bases, as well as the impact of the supported projects will be covered.
This training is intended primarily for professionals interacting with foundations in the financial, banking, and legal fields (bankers, notaries and lawyers), managers of foundations (Board members and directors), or individuals and philanthropists wishing to create a foundation.
The Master Class in Philanthropy is held in French.
The next edition of the Master Class in Philanthropy will be held from 26 to 28 March 2025 at the Château de Bossey.
