The mission of the Options for Growth Foundation is to partner exclusively with a select number of nationally accredited academic and educational institutions / foundations in Switzerland and abroad to fund international, cross-cultural academic or professional development opportunities for deserving adolescents and young adults, living in Switzerland, who, without financial support, may not be able to benefit from such personal growth experiences.

The Options for Growth Foundation does not provide grants directly to individual beneficiaries.

The desired outcome of our support is to enable participants to broaden their view of their own role in society and integrate such experiences in their personal and professional life so as to strengthen their leadership skills and enhance their impact in all sectors of society.

Providing loans to cover the costs of education and / or grants for professional development opportunities, intercultural, academic training at state-recognized universities and technical colleges, primarily in Switzerland.

The education abroad of young people living in Switzerland or young adults from developing countries is supported in deserving cases, e.g. if an equivalent education in Switzerland is not possible or cannot be financed.

The contributions should be granted in cooperation with Swiss universities and technical colleges, educational institutions, foundations (or comparable institutions).

We started our first collaboration with EDUCA SWISS in 2022. EDUCA SWISS is a Swiss foundation that promotes education and funding. EDUCA SWISS supports motivated people with their academic goals by providing free consultations for planning and budgeting, and by arranging low-interest student loans.

Our second collaboration also started in 2022 with Superar Suisse, a social non-profit association which uses the potential of music and to endeavor to change society positively with the free offer of orchestra and choir lessons for children and young people.

Our most recent collaboration started in 2025 with Young Enterprise Switzerland, better known as YES. YES is an independent non-profit organisation and the leading provider of practice-oriented business and opinion education in Switzerland. Students engage with the interplay between business, society and environment. The goal is clear: the next generation will benefit from thinking and acting entrepreneurially, engaging in dialogue and form well-founded opinions and take responsibility.
