The ZEWO foundation also regularly confirms with its seal of approval that we use donations efficiently and purposefully. They also assess our integrity, transparency, and sustainability. Since 1963, we have carried the ZEWO seal of approval, which guarantees that donations flow directly into our projects and that we keep our administration lean and small. It is evidence from a neutral party that our operational processes are professional and efficient and constantly improving. Additionally, in our annual reports we disclose all expenses and show what we have achieved and how we have used your donations.

Can I deduct my donation from my taxes?

You can deduct your donation to FAIRMED from your taxes. If you have donated to FAIRMED, we will send you your donation receipt next January. However, if you donated online and we do not have all your address details, please send us an email with your full name, address, and request for a donation receipt to info@fairmed.ch or call us at +41 31 311 77 97.

What happens to my data?

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. FAIRMED does not sell, rent, or exchange data and uses your information exclusively in accordance with the applicable data protection law.

Are there alternatives to donating money?

Unfortunately, we cannot give a general answer to this question, as it depends on what form of support you have in mind. Please send us an email at info@fairmed.ch or call us at +41 31 311 77 97 and we will be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.

Why should I donate regularly?

It takes time to establish and consolidate sustainable structures locally. Our projects are therefore designed to run for an average of four years. Your regular support enables us to plan our projects more effectively and thus guarantee a long-term commitment to improving the health of the poorest people. You can decide for yourself how much you want to donate and how often.
