Give a membership as a gift

Whether for your family, employees, godchild or a special occasion – a Benefactors’ Association membership is always the perfect gift. 

The advantages of membership

  • Members receive 250,000 Swiss francs if they sustain a spinal cord injury in an accident and end up in a wheelchair permanently.

  • The payment process is quick and without red tape.

  • The payment is granted independently of insurance benefits and the place of the accident or treatment.
  • Benefactors' Association membership is possible both for people who reside in Switzerland and those who live abroad.
  • 1.9 million members have already put their trust in the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation.
  • The great feeling of solidarity with people with a spinal cord injury – given that it can happen to anybody.
