Key facts
Pro Senectute (PS) is a national organisation with the aim of maintaining and promoting the well-being of elderly people in Switzerland. The foundation receives a subsidy of approximately CHF 54 million each year. This is not paid by the Confederation but comes out of the old-age and survivors’ insurance compensation fund. The Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) concludes service-level agreements with PS for this financial assistance for a period of four years.
