Overview of continuing education opportunities related to philanthropy and the non-for-profit sector in Switzerland, in collaboration with SwissFoundations and proFonds

Philanthropy and non-profit activities are becoming increasingly important and more professional, with a growing number of actors and trainings offered in the field. The offer varies targeting practitioners, managers, newcomers to the field, intermediaries (lawyers and wealth managers amongst others) and board members. However, it is not always easy to select the most suitable programme, including continuing education courses.

The objective of this webinar is to provide an overview of today’s offer in Switzerland, presenting three courses, as well as providing some practical guidance so you can decide what's best for you !
