Make a donation

The amounts that the Foundation can allocate are modest. Moreover, the cost of post-training courses is rising sharply.

In order to be able to continue to provide significant support to the growing number of female researchers, the Foundation needs your solidarity.

The Erna Hamburger Foundation is managed by an independent Foundation Board. Through your philanthropic action, you are helping women at university and polytechnic level to continue their education.

Individuals and legal entities who make a donation to the Erna Hamburger Foundation may deduct it from their taxable income, provided that they have paid a minimum of CHF 100 to Swiss institutions that are exempt from tax for purely public purposes during the same year. The deductibility of donations is granted only up to 20% of the net income less the deductions provided for in articles 39, 40, 41 and 42 LI (articles 26 and 33 LIFD).

The Foundation will provide, on request, the certificates required for tax deductions for donations in excess of CHF 100. The deductibility of donations to the Erna Hamburger Foundation (an institution of purely public utility) is governed by articles 37 al. 1 let. i and 95 al. 1 let. c LI at Vaud level. The relevant legal bases for the direct federal tax are articles 33a LIFD and 59 al.1 let. c LIFD.
