Digital donation platform for certified Swiss relief organizations

The aim of Letshelp.ch is to enable aid organizations to present campaigns online to a large audience effectively and easily without having to worry about platform maintenance or administrative processes. This was announced on Monday by the telecommunications company Swisscom, the Swiss certification body for charitable fundraising organizations (Zewo) and the professional association of fundraisers in Switzerland (Swissfundraising).

The platform is intended to provide donors with an overview of the numerous donation projects. According to the press release, donors should be given access to specific projects from trustworthy and regularly monitored aid organizations on the platform. In the first phase, only aid organizations that have a Zewo seal of approval will be allowed to participate. At a later stage, other aid organizations will also be able to be checked for compliance with Zewo standards. Swisscom developed and operates the donation platform. For the donations collected Letshelp.ch The donors pay a fee from the aid organizations to cover the operating costs. For donors, access costs nothing. (SDA)
