Good to know
The ETH Zurich Foundation is a lean organisation that is privately financed.
Because the Foundation is not subsidised by ETH Zurich, operations are financed by the capital gains made on our managed assets.
Organisation and financing
The members of the ETH Zurich Foundation Board kindly volunteer their services. Operations are financed by the capital gains made from the total managed assets. Should a poor fiscal year lead to insufficient revenue to cover costs, the fund capital can be used proportionately.
