The cuts are the Federal Council's proposal in its relief package 2027 (list of measures, dispatch to Parliament); Parliament can still change them. Amounts are for 2029, in francs per year. The organisations are Zewo-certified, picked from the Zewo directory by the fields, forms of help and cantons Zewo lists for them, as of October 2026; their descriptions are Zewo's. Chlotze is not affiliated with Zewo or any organisation listed and earns nothing from donations.
