The Cottier Donzé Foundation focuses on improving the lives of vulnerable girls and women through practical, scalable interventions that reduce discrimination and poverty. Its grants appear to support girls’ education, life skills, gender equity, menstrual health, violence/FGM prevention, and women’s economic empowerment, especially in Switzerland, Nepal, and Kenya. The foundation also seems interested in organizations with strong field presence and demonstrable impact, rather than broad advocacy alone.
Program-specific grantmaking through the foundation’s general grants program, likely with a relatively small number of targeted awards to nonprofit partners in priority geographies. The pattern suggests practical, direct support for implementation-oriented projects rather than unrestricted or large-scale institutional funding.
Align proposals tightly with the foundation’s stated priorities: vulnerable girls and women, measurable outcomes, and scalable solutions in Switzerland, Nepal, or Kenya. Emphasize how the project improves education, life skills, safety, or economic opportunity, and show clear evidence of sustainability and on-the-ground implementation capacity.
