Solidarity Fund

Emergency assistance for up-and-coming artistic talent

The Solidarity Fund supports students of the Zurich University of the Arts who find themselves in an existential emergency. This hardship can be due to a variety of reasons, e.g. loss of a part-time job, illness, accident, family situation or other reasons. The ZHdK Foundation helps in these cases with small emergency grants. The amount of support depends on applicants' individual circumstances. As a rule, one-off amounts of CHF 500 to a maximum of CHF 2,000 will be awarded. Recipients will not be required to repay the assistance.
Your donation to the Solidarity Fund cushions these hardship cases and helps students to bridge any financial shortfalls.

The Solidarity Fund was initiated in March 2020 at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. It has since provided important support for students in precarious situations. Read more about it:
