R. Geigy-Stiftung is a Basel-based foundation closely tied to Swiss TPH, using strategic grants, project funding, awards, and scholarships to help turn research into practical impact. Its giving is especially centered on neglected diseases, global/public health, and capacity building for researchers and students, with a strong emphasis on benefiting people in Switzerland and low- and middle-income countries in the Global South. The foundation appears to favor institutional partnerships and clearly defined programs rather than open-ended philanthropic applications.
Primarily long-term, relationship-based support to Swiss TPH and its partner network, plus an annual nominated award and targeted scholarships. Grants include strategic institutional funding, project/seed financing, and a fixed annual prize; access is largely invite-only or nomination-based rather than open to unsolicited proposals.

Most funding is not open call-driven: strategic and project grants are tied to Swiss TPH and its partner institutions, and the R. Geigy Award is nomination-based with no unsolicited proposals. If you are affiliated with Swiss TPH or a long-standing partner, align your proposal to research-to-impact goals, neglected diseases, public/global health, or capacity building; for the award, watch the nomination deadline (14 August 2026) and secure a nominator early.
