Mission
Promotion and support of the arts (music and visual arts, in particular through the organization of concerts and the award of scholarships), animal welfare (in particular for the benefit of sick and old animals), nature conservation (in particular the protection of the rainforest), and human medicine (especially in favor of therapy centers), in Switzerland and abroad. Services to institutions that carry out animal experiments are excluded. The foundation can support other non-profit institutions and awards the CALEO Prize, an international award in recognition and appreciation of fundamental, forward-looking scientific achievements that serve the general public.
