Fondazione Haiku Lugano is a Swiss nonprofit foundation that supports social solidarity projects, with a strong emphasis on human dignity, inclusion of vulnerable people, anti-poverty work, and the protection of fundamental rights. Its grantees suggest a practical, community-oriented approach: funding nonprofits that provide direct services such as child and family support, migrant and refugee inclusion, psychosocial care, legal/rights advocacy, education, and health access in Italy, Switzerland, and developing countries. The foundation appears especially interested in projects that help people on the margins gain stability, access services, and participate more fully in society.
Primarily direct grants and calls for proposals to nonprofit organizations, supporting project-based initiatives rather than unrestricted institutional funding. The pattern suggests moderate-sized, mission-aligned awards for specific solidarity projects, likely on a periodic basis through a formal application form.
