We started our first collaboration with EDUCA SWISS in 2022.

EDUCA SWISS are a Swiss foundation for the promotion and financing of education. We support motivated people in the implementation of their educational project by providing free support during planning and budgeting and by arranging low-interest educational loans.

We are pleased to have supported more than 50 students so far with low interest-bearing loans ranging from CHF 5’000 to CHF 15’000.

These loans have been granted for either one semester or the entire duration of their study program, depending on the individual student’s chosen path.

We are already at a stage where initial beneficiaries are starting to repay their loans. These funds are immediately used to provide loans to new applicants. It is this circular support mechanism that will allow us to continue to put our growing financial strength to good use.

Our second collaboration also started in 2022 with Superar Suisse.

The non-profit social association Superar Suisse uses the potential of music and tries to change society positively with the free offer of orchestra and choir lessons for children and young people. Many of the Superar children have a migration background and come from educationally deprived backgrounds without access to classical music or any musical training at all. By comprehensively promoting the generation of tomorrow, Superar Suisse makes a direct and essential contribution to society.

We are pleased to have been able to sponsor 6 concerts since and enjoyed attending these ourselves, often in the presence of family members and friends.

It has been inspiring to see 350 children and young people make music as a group at various locations in German-speaking Switzerland and in Ticino.

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.

We are supporting the research and launch of the YES Our Community Programme in the Canton of Lucerne.

The project pursues the following goals:

• Increase awareness: Raise general awareness about the Our Community programme among public primary schools in the canton of Lucerne.
• Reach 100 students: Aim to involve around 100 students in the programme within the canton of Lucerne in 2025.
• Recruit 10 new volunteers: Work towards recruiting new volunteers to help support the programme and ensure its continued presence in the region.

«The support of the Options for Growth Foundation is essential for enabling us to effectively develop the Our Community program in the area of Lucerne. In the short term, it will allow dozens of children to better understand the society around them, and in the long term, it will help us reach many more children by firmly anchoring the program in the region.»
