Since the donation platform has only been online since September 24th of 2021, it still needs some time to really take off. We are currently working hard to expand the platform’s reach and attract more users. Among other things, the current linking on the SwissPass page and the cooperation with TWINT from January 2021 are important for this. At the same time, we are also continuously developing the user experience. In addition, we’re developping a donation button that can be easily implemented on your website. In the future, you can easily link to the desired project or organization portrait on stiftungschweiz.ch and collect donations via your website without any further contracts with payment providers etc.
You yourself can also contribute to the success of your digital fundraising! An attractive organization and project portrait on stiftungschweiz.ch is important – preferably with short, meaningful texts, photos and video clips. Also inform companies and people you work with that StiftungSchweiz enables simple and direct donations for your organization. We are happy to support you – for example, with a QR code for your printed materials such as donation mailings or christmas letters. We are happy to help you with that!
