Stiftung Serena supports projects that improve the quality of life of older adults in the Canton of Bern, with a clear emphasis on age-appropriate housing, integrated care, and services that help seniors remain independent for as long as possible. The foundation is especially interested in practical, locally anchored models—such as dementia care, home-based treatment, and coordinated service networks—rather than broad advocacy alone. It also appears to back implementation and system-building efforts that can be shared with policymakers, public agencies, and care providers.
Supportive grantmaking for eligible nonprofit projects in the Bern region; appears to fund specific care and housing initiatives, often as project support or co-financing for practical service models rather than large open-call programs.
Applications appear to be accepted from nonprofit organizations working in the Canton of Bern on projects that fit Serena’s purpose; tailor proposals to concrete improvements in senior housing, integrated care, or dementia services. Emphasize local impact, collaboration with care providers, and how the project preserves autonomy or improves coordination across services. If possible, reference measurable outcomes and be prepared for a project-specific review rather than a generic annual grant cycle.
