Swiss Re Foundation is an independent corporate foundation under Swiss law. Our vision is to help low-income communities develop their capacity to mitigate health and climate risks as well as to recover quickly from setbacks. We play a role in strengthening the resilience of communities, that is, their ability to survive and thrive in the face of resource stresses, societal adversity and natural disasters.

The scope of our activities
We aim to make a measurable and sustainable difference. We support our partners not only through evidence-based grant funding, but also by giving them access to the broad expertise of Swiss Re’s employees and allowing them to learn, prototype and scale effective solutions. We group our activities under strategic commitments and charitable commitments.
Team
Geographic reach
We support partners working in places where the protection gap is widest, that is, in low- and middle-income countries and where Swiss Re operates or intends to operate in the future.
Leadership
The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees that sets our strategic direction and is managed by a small global team in Zurich, Bangalore, Singapore and Armonk, New York.
