About us

vitamin B

In Switzerland, there are about 100,000 associations. They all make significant contributions to society, encourage social relations and work for the benefit of others. They promote quality of life in our society and serve as schools for democracy.

vitamin B promotes a solidarity-based and democratic Switzerland that strengthens society by providing direct, easily accessible support to and raising awareness of associations. This process sees us experiment and develop with our environment.

The services offered by vitamin B are available to all non-profit associations and other organisations working for the democratic and collaborative development of our society. vitamin B services are not available to associations and other organisations promoting racism, gender discrimination or any other forms of discrimination.

A legal right to the services offered by vitamin B does not exist.

Broad support

For 22 years, the Migros Culture Percentage has played a major role in the vitamin B competence centre strategically, financially and operationally. We have been an independent association since November 2022. Migros Culture Percentage will support us financially and in an advisory capacity on occasion during the transfer phase until 2025.

Our wide range of empowerment solutions for associations are made possible with the support of the Migros Culture Percentage of the FMC, the Social Department of the City of Zurich, Stiftung Mercator Schweiz, the Ernst Göhner Foundation, the Swiss Society for the Common Good SSCG, the Migros cooperatives of Eastern Switzerland and Zurich and our 160 or so association members and donors.
