SUPPORT US.

Your time and financial support are valuable!

The work of the YMCA/YWCA Zurich is largely based on volunteer work and depends on donations.
We do not receive subsidies or other regular public contributions.

Our work as a non-profit organisation is made possible by donations.

Because of our certification by ZEWO, the Swiss certification authority for charities, your donation to us is tax-deductible.

Our committed volunteers help us maintain our many offers and extend our opening hours.

Item donations in good condition (clothes, furniture, cutlery, ...) help keep the offers in our flea market new and exciting, and make it possible for us to hold our Christmas market every year as a fundraising event.

Help us continue our work,offer community acitvities and be there for those who need it!

Around 280 people volunteer with the YMCA/YWCA Zurich at regular or irregular intervals. Many more choose to invest a part of their earnings to make our work possible. Repeatedly, we have had the honour of receiving bequests from people who wish to support us even after their death.

Do you see a way for you to help support our work? 
Get in touch - we'd be thrilled!

Your donation makes a difference!

Our wokr is only possible because of the broad support through our members, sponsors, project-based funding and help from other foundations.
We depend on you to keep having successes with our activities, and we'd be thrilled to count on your donation!
Your donation help us to keep our offers free or low-priced, so that low-income families can participate.

Item donations

We're always grateful to receive item donations to support our work. At the moment, we're especially looking for...

An iPad

We're looking for an iPad, including older models, for use by our employees, as well as for presentations. Have you recently bought a new device, and are taking your older one out of commission? We'd be glad to receive your donation.

 

Brand name and designer clothing you no longer wear
