The Foundation / 02

Continuity
and perspective.

GFM-Stiftung was established in 2002 and entered in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich in 2021.

As a family foundation governed by Swiss law, its legal purpose is the designated support of family members. Careful management and growth of its assets provide the economic basis for that mandate.

Its public profile encompasses economic considerations, an engagement with art, and an interest in education and research. The Foundation’s legal purpose remains the basis for any specific activity.

Governance / 03

Responsibility
with purpose.

Lasting values.
A wider view.

An engagement with art reflects attention to quality and a long-term approach to cultural value.

Education and research extend this outlook to the value of knowledge, intellectual responsibility and well-founded judgement.
