About Maria und Heinrich Th. Uster-Stiftung

The Maria und Heinrich Th. Uster-Stiftung supports practical projects that improve environmental and quality-of-life outcomes in Switzerland, especially work with measurable public benefit. Its giving is split between project grants in areas like energy, air quality, noise reduction, and revitalization of underused land or settlements, and scholarships or training support for talented young people pursuing careers in environmental planning, architecture, and real estate. The foundation appears especially interested in technically grounded, applied initiatives rather than broad advocacy, with a strong emphasis on Swiss geography and professional development in built-environment fields.
