Philanthropy & Impact Structuring

هيكلة العمل الخيري والأثر الاجتماعي

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Swiss charitable foundations supervised?+
Yes — Swiss charitable foundations are subject to state supervision. This oversight is part of what gives a Swiss foundation its credibility.
Can a structure accommodate Islamic giving principles?+
Yes. Where the family wishes, giving structures can be designed to operate consistently with Islamic traditions of charity; we involve advisers with the relevant expertise.
Does IBRIDGE sit on the foundation board?+
No. Governance belongs to the family and the independent board members it chooses. We advise on design and coordinate establishment.
