The Credit Suisse Foundation is part of the company's corporate citizenship program and addresses social issues around the world, particularly in the fields of Financial Inclusion, Financial Education and Future Skills.

In Switzerland, the Jubilee Fund aims to provide young people with the skills they need to pursue meaningful careers and reach their full potential – regardless of their socio-economic background. In doing so, the Fund focuses on Financial Education and Future Skills. The Foundation also presents awards for achievements in science and culture.

The commitment of the Credit Suisse Foundation is complemented globally by the expertise of Credit Suisse employees. We integrate these employees whenever possible in order to help our partners have an even greater impact. Also in Switzerland, we have employees who volunteer their time and expertise to support our partners.

Financial Education

Not only have technological developments revolutionized the way we handle money, digitalization has drastically increased the number of ways to consume. Shopping via smartphone or with the click of a mouse may be easy, but it requires a certain amount of discipline and awareness of potential pitfalls. That's why, in the field of financial education, we focus on providing young people with knowledge about money in a suitable way. We use playful methods to teach young people about how to handle money responsibly as they encounter topics such as budgeting, debt prevention, and cashless payments.

Future Skills

Young people are faced with a rapidly changing world that requires constant flexibility along with a barrage of new skills. We want to empower young people to assimilate skills that will enable them to be lifelong learners and lend them the ability to act independently. This means, for example, promoting the critical and creative thinking skills as individuals, but also placing a greater focus on STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, math), which are shaping the world of tomorrow.

Excellence in music and science

In terms of culture, we focus exclusively on promoting young talent in the world of classical music. Our "pyramid of musical commitment" helps us create platforms for exceptionally talented young people. It builds on the foundation of collaboration with the Swiss Youth Music Competition Foundation, goes on to the Prix Credit Suisse Jeunes Solistes, and peaks with the presentation of the Credit Suisse Young Artist Award.
