Fondazioni
Carolina Müller-Möhl è la fondatrice dell’omonima Fondazione attiva in vari campi della cultura, della famiglia e della filantropia.
Quali sono le principali finalità perseguite dalla vostra Fondazione e quali sono gli strumenti mediante i quali cercate di realizzarle?
«Provide inspiration. Initiate debate. Get involved. That is what the Müller-Möhl Foundation wants to achieve. We see ourselves as providers, promoters and endorsers of ideas and not as a charity. As an institution for active and committed citizenship, with one goal in mind: to make a significant contribution to societal development. We focus our efforts on education, the reconciliation of work and family life and libertarian policies. To make things happen, we allocate our time, knowledge, network, voice and – where necessary – our financial support. In our opinion, philanthropy is not primarily a matter of money, but a matter of the heart and common sense».
Quali sono i più importanti progetti realizzati nel corso degli ultimi anni e quali i progetti per il futuro?
«The Müller-Möhl Foundation highlights challenges that our country faces and we work on viable solutions, alone or with partners. At the core of our involvement are topics that are crucial pillars for the future of Switzerland. Therefore, all our projects are equally important and we will continue on this route. Projects that we are supporting or have supported include:
• “La scoperta del mondo”, an exhibition-event dedicated to early childhood organized by Association Voice for Quality;
• “Women back to Business”, a management training program at the University of St. Gallen for women who desire to return to the workforce;
• The event “ideas market migration” in collaboration with foraus, the Swiss think thank on foreign policy and Stapferhaus Lenzburg that creates spaces for people to engage with the critical questions of our time».
Che cosa significa concretamente applicare una filosofia “imprenditoriale” alle vostre iniziative e perché attribuite una particolare importanza al ruolo della comunicazione?
«The founder, Carolina Müller-Möhl, considers herself as a social investor, as well as an active citizen of our country. This is reflected in the work ethic of the Müller-Möhl Foundation. We pursue a business approach and place great emphasis on professionalism. We do not just act as a financial donor, but manage the entire value chain, from the in-depth analysis of a topic through to the operational project implementation. Our motto is to “do good and talk about it”. Because we also want to inspire others to become active. This is why we take a clear stance on issues and raise our voice for the values we believe in: responsibility, commitment and individual freedom».
