We create the best possible conditions for working for the common good.
Financial commitment provides the underpinnings of a strong and dynamic society. Established by Reichmuth & Co more than 20 years ago, the Rütli-Foundation is an independent umbrella foundation for people who want to do charitable work.
Setting up your own foundation is often a very costly process and takes up a great deal of time and effort. You also face start-up fees and running costs which are charged to the foundation’s capital and eat into the donations. The Rütli-Foundation offers legal, management and tax services and supports you in achieving your goals for the common good efficiently and cost-effectively.
«Your generosity can do a lot of good. The Rütli-Foundation can help you turn your plans into reality: uniquely, simply and effectively.»
Chairman of the Rütli-Foundation

The foundation board is the central governing body, responsible for the strategic direction and the fulfillment of the foundation’s purpose – encompassing everything from organisation to finance.

Despite geopolitical tensions, higher interest rates, and persistent uncertainty, the global economy continues to demonstrate resilience. Leading indicators such as purchasing managers’ indices, alongside stable consumer spending and labor market data, suggest that the global economy is likely to continue expanding in the short term. Above all, we are observing a structural shift in the drivers of growth. Expansionary fiscal programs and elevated corporate investment are supporting economic momentum across many regions of the world.

Economic developments are currently being shaped by two opposing forces. On the demand side, investments in infrastructure, defence, and AI data centres are driving momentum. On the supply side, demographic change, deglobalization, and the energy price shock are acting as constraints. This combination is inflationary — while the growth outlook remains uncertain.
