Give regularly

Sponsorship

As a sponsor you stand firmly alongside us, month after month, year after year. Your regular gift creates reliability for people in need and planning certainty for us as an organisation. You also secure long-term projects such as building schools and livelihoods, which have a lasting positive effect on communities.

Support beyond your lifetime

Legacy gift

A legacy is a testamentary gift with which you can support MAF even after your death. You can leave us a sum of money, securities or part of your estate. As a charitable organisation we are exempt from inheritance tax, so your gift reaches the people cut off from the world in full.

ZEWO seal of quality for charities

MAF is ZEWO-certified

The ZEWO seal of quality confirms it: we use your donations for their intended purpose, effectively and economically. Our finances are transparent and our work is audited. You can rely on your donation working where it is needed most.

Giving pays off twice

Claiming donations against tax

You can claim your donation to MAF Switzerland on your tax return. As a ZEWO-certified charity we are recognised for tax purposes – which means you can deduct your gift from your taxable income.

Exactly how much is deductible depends on your canton of residence and federal rules. The regulations vary, but in most cases the benefit is noticeable. We issue you a donation receipt automatically, which you can submit with your tax return.

Your help

Support us in practical ways

If you cannot or would rather not support us financially, there are other ways to help: you can give your free time, your skills and expertise, or your prayers, to help people in need.

Fundraising

Organise your own fundraiser: a cake sale, a sponsored run or any other creative idea – every franc raised helps.

Funding partnerships

How MAF is funded

MAF depends on people who believe in our mission. Most of our work is funded by donations, above all from private individuals, but increasingly also from partners such as foundations and companies. Added to this are contributions from relief organisations on the ground, which help fund our flights at preferential rates. And since January 2025 we have been proud to be supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) as well.
