The IMS Foundation primarily concentrates its efforts in select countries across Africa, Latin America and Europe as indicated on the map. However, we also engage in additional countries within these regions through our impact areas.
We believe lasting change comes from visionary ideas, projects, and organisations. Our approach is characterised by a proactive search for innovative initiatives that have the potential to create lasting change and align with our vision for a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world.
We work by invitation only and do not accept unsolicited funding requests.
We are dedicated to purposeful and responsible giving, guided by the legacy of Irène M. Staehelin-Schindler, whose lifelong commitment to human and women rights, development and sustainability continues to inspire our work today.
