Guidelines for Grant Applicants
1. Objective of the Foundation

The Swiss Foundation for Solidarity in Tourism (SST) was founded in January 2001. The Foundation’s assets
consist of the proceeds from the sale of the former SSR Travel, Swiss Student Travel Office (cooperative) to the
STA Travel Group. Through its activities in the field of tourism the Foundation continues to work towards the
non-materialistic objectives of the former cooperative.
In accordance with its statutes, the Foundation supports projects and organisations that
• are suited to improve the economic, cultural and social conditions of the population in tourist
destinations,
• contribute to sustainable tourism development in the destinations,
• contribute to improving intercultural understanding between people in tourist sending and receiving
countries.
2. General Conditions for Cofinancing
In order to be granted financial support, applicants must submit projects that are in line with the Foundation’s
objectives, and they must observe the following criteria:
• Financial support may, in accordance with the Foundation’s objectives, be granted for activities in
Switzerland as well as other countries worldwide.
• Financial support will usually be given to organisations, associations and legal entities.
• As a rule, additional grants for running projects will not be approved.
• For projects of several years’ duration, the Foundation may approve recurring grants.
3. Amount Available for Grants

The Foundation’s assets are to be maintained on the long run. Grants and awards are financed from the return
on investments. At the moment, funds amounting to about CHF 150,000.- per year are at the Foundation’s
disposal to support projects and organisations in accordance with the Foundation’s objectives. The Board
decides on the amount to be granted to individual projects. So far, grants for individual projects ranged
between CHF 5,000.- and CHF 25,000.-.

which ones have not.
5. Assessment and Decision
• We will check your project proposal with respect to its completeness and its compliance with the
Foundation’s funding policy. You will receive a reply in writing.
• A pre-assessment of the funding proposal will be made by a committee of the Board. This committee
suggests to the Board to approve or reject the proposal. The decision on the support to be granted
will be made by the Board. The Board will decide on the support to be granted by the Foundation.
The Board meets on a quarterly basis.
• The Board of the Foundation is not obligated to give reasons for the rejection of an application.
• We reserve the right to set up a contract with the applicant, especially in the case of a substantial
contribution or if the project has a duration of several years. The Foundation assumes that it will be
mentioned as a donor in publications or in the information/public relations work related to the
project.
6. Monitoring
If your project has been approved, you will have to submit a report on the utilisation of the grant and on the
objectives achieved. The report must be submitted after your project has been completed. At the latest,
however, the report must be submitted one year after the grant has been paid out to you. When describing
the achievement of the objectives, please use the indicators and criteria formulated in the project proposal for
monitoring purposes. In case of recurring contributions, you are requested to report annually. Your report
must contain details on:
• Achievement of the objectives (if possible confirmed by an independent party such as a research
institution, an expert, or an auditor)
• Utilisation of funds (calculation check/accounts/annual report)
