The foundation aims to support families and children living in Switzerland, particularly in the Northwestern region, who are in need or have insufficient financial resources. The support is intended to be provided for a meaningful and limited period of time to enable education, activities with a promotional character, therapies, and stays in health resorts and vacation. Grants can be made directly or through institutions, promotion and aid projects. To this end, the foundation can rent, lease, acquire, hold, encumber and sell properties in Switzerland.
