StiftungSchweiz is subject to the Money Laundering Act. As a member of the self-regulatory organization, we conduct an annual self-declaration and are regularly externally audited.
All processes and transactions are Finma-approved and secured against money laundering (donor verification). Each organization is manually verified and checked for tax exemption.
You can learn more about data security at StiftungSchweiz in the blog post “Digital donations – but secure”.
No, only tax-exempt Swiss organizations can be activated on the donation platform. We had to introduce this restriction due to the money laundering act. However, this is how we guarantee that all processes are legally compliant and that donations reach the organizations safely and efficiently.
To use the donation tools, your organization must be tax-exempt. We perform verification based on documents and information that should confirm the tax exemption of your organization.
You start the verification process in the organization menu in the “Verification” tab. In an uncomplicated 3-step process, you upload the necessary documents there and enter the relevant information about your organization. We will check your documents and in the shortest possible time you will receive a decision.
