About Stiftung Marie-Lou Ringgenberg

Stiftung Marie-Lou Ringgenberg is a Bern-based Swiss foundation that supports public-interest projects tied closely to the City and Canton of Bern, with a strong emphasis on preserving historically valuable buildings and parkland in Bern’s old town. Its giving also extends to locally rooted civic and cultural institutions, especially the botanical garden, the Dählhölzli zoo, and the volunteer fire service. Overall, it appears to be a place-based funder focused on heritage, green public spaces, and community-serving institutions in Bern.

Giving Approach

Generally provides general project support and contributions to specific Bern institutions; likely relationship-based and place-specific rather than open, high-volume grantmaking. Grants appear to be modest-to-moderate operating or program contributions, with a focus on established local organizations in Bern.

How to approach this funder

Focus any outreach on projects located in Bern and clearly tied to heritage preservation, park maintenance, or civic institutions. The foundation’s public program suggests thematic fit matters more than broad nonprofit size, so applicants should emphasize local public benefit and alignment with Bern’s historical and green infrastructure; check the foundation website for current submission instructions, as grantmaking appears to be program-specific rather than a general open call.
