Support Our Charity

AWC Basel supports various local and international organizations through our fundraising efforts. One hundred percent of all proceeds goes directly to our supported charities. Additionally, we work as hands-on volunteers at our local charity and organize charity and fundraising events. Please contact our President at president.awcbasel@gmail.com to volunteer or for any questions you may have about our supported charities.

​​

Each year at our Annual General Meeting, our members vote for a local Swiss charity to support for the upcoming club year. The majority of our fundraising and volunteer efforts throughout the year are focused on this chosen organization. We host a variety of fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for our organization of choice.

​

Our local charity for the 2024-2025 club year is Thanksgiver Schweiz, whose mission is to provide essential food assistance, fostering language services for those in need, and promoting environmental sustainability through composting solutions. For more information about Thanksgiver Schweiz visit their website at https://www.thanksgiver.ch/
