requests for funding

currently cottier donzé foundation is only supporting projects which are:

> oriented toward girl empowerment

> geographically focused on switzerland, nepal and kenya

> sustainable, efficient and scalable (ie no pure relief projects)

core topics of eligible projects include: school education for girls, life skills programs, promotion of gender neutral children books, fighting female genital mutilation, small scale microloans to women, girls and women entrepreneurship, girl safety.

please note that only applications for projects located in our focus countries (switzerland, nepal and kenya) will be considered.  we are unable to reply to applications outside of these countries or to those which are not focused on our core topics as listed above.

!!! UPDATE FALL 2026!!! We are currently overwhelmed with requests and are therefore not considering new projects at this time. We have consequently removed our grant application form. We remain reachable by email for any cooperation inquiries that take our project selection criteria into account. Thank you for your understanding.
