Kirchliche Stiftung Kloster St. Anna supports the long-term preservation and operation of the Capuchin convent in Gerlisberg, while also providing for the wellbeing, care, and security of the resident sisters. Its grantmaking appears to extend to closely related church and mission activities, especially support for the Kapuzinerinnen in Tansania and practical projects tied to convent life, housing, agriculture, and facilities maintenance. The foundation is also willing to back culturally significant restoration work and compassionate emergency support, such as housing for Ukrainian refugee women at the convent.
Targeted, carefully reviewed support for a small number of mission-aligned projects; likely discretionary rather than open-call, with emphasis on Switzerland and partner sites in Tansania. Grants seem to range from practical in-kind or project support to facility repairs and humanitarian hospitality, typically for specific needs rather than general operating funding.

This appears to be a relationship-based foundation focused on its own convent, sister communities, and closely connected partners, so unsolicited broad applications are unlikely to be effective. Applicants should present a clearly defined project tied to Catholic community life, convent operations, heritage preservation, or the Tansania mission, and emphasize direct benefit, careful budgeting, and alignment with the foundation’s existing network.
