Do good after your death

Find out how easy it is to include the Paraplegic Foundation in your will. Your legacy will substantially improve the life of individuals with a spinal cord injury.

Life ends at some point. It’s therefore important to take on responsibility in inheritance issues and not leave anything to chance. If you would like to appoint the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation as a legatee, we would be delighted. You do this by appointing the Foundation in your will or inheritance contract as an heir or a legatee. In addition, you must determine which part or which specific asset of the estate is to be passed on to the Foundation. You can also determine that the inheritance or the legacy is used for a specific purpose. This is possible with a condition, for example: “The Swiss Paraplegic Foundation receives the donation under the condition that it is used for the ParaWork project”. We have set up donation funds for this purpose. You can find an overview of our donation funds here:

If you appoint the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation as a legatee, you will be following the example of nearly 3,000 people who have also decided to support the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation after their death.

If you decide to support the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation after your death, we will give you a special place on our campus in Nottwil. The memorial wall was set up in 2019 for this purpose, and our countless estate donors are individually immortalised on mirrored metal panelling.

If you have any questions or would like a personal meeting, we are available at any time via email or by phone.

We look forward to hearing from you.🤝
