The BackPack Foundation is a non-profit foundation based in Switzerland. Donations to the BackPack Foundation are tax-deductible within the framework of the legal provisions.

We aim to partner with academic institutions in Switzerland that are committed to supporting women who are looking to access transformative experiences through higher education in the fields of leadership, biosciences, medicine and technology.

If you represent a Swiss-based academic institution and interested in hosting a BackPack scholar in one of these areas or an international organization in contact with women that fulfill our selection criteria and are looking for sources of financing to realize their visions, please contact us. We are interested in exploring how we can work together to promote highly talented women.
