CHF 1,300 for federal foundation oversight

On 13 November 2026, Fair Future Foundation paid CHF 1,300 to Switzerland’s Federal Supervisory Authority for Foundations for the review of our 2025 annual management report. We have paid annual oversight fees for nearly 15 years. The authority sets CHF 1,300 as the rate for a report of medium complexity.

In East Sumba, CHF 1,300 is what we estimate it costs to run two full community medical care days: consultations for about 250 to 300 patients, with examinations, blood tests and prescriptions where needed. That is what this fee represents for our work.

We accept independent oversight and publish our reports and accounts. But we receive no funding from the Swiss Confederation for this work. Tax exemption recognises our public-benefit purpose, while this separate supervisory fee still comes out of the resources available to carry it out.

We ask the federal authority a direct question: could humanitarian foundations qualify for a waiver or reduction of the annual fee while remaining subject to the same reporting and oversight requirements?
