Your Donation

Donations in favor of a regional branch make a significant contribution to the continuation and development of 143.ch. The majority of your donation will be used for the training, continuing education, and support of volunteers who assist people in need by phone, chat, or email.
Donations to the Swiss umbrella organization support the further development of 143.ch. The association initiates projects and activities that benefit all regional branches and align the organization for the future.

Donations without fees

We are frequently asked how people can make donations whilst keeping fees and administrative effort to a minimum. With the modern range of online donation options available and the charges for additional services relating to QR payment slips without an address and over-the-counter payments, 143.ch now pays almost twice as much in bank and transaction fees as it used to. This is money that we cannot use to ensure the continued existence and further development of 143.ch.

Generally speaking, fees are lowest when using online banking with a QR code or an IBAN number. All online providers, such as TWINT, credit cards and PayPal, charge transaction fees of between 1.3% and 5.5% (PayPal).

Regular donations are particularly valuable to 143.ch. This long-term commitment significantly reduces our administrative workload, meaning that a larger proportion of the donation actually benefits 143.ch and all those seeking advice.
