Your support is very important to us! There are several ways you can help us:

Donations in kind

We are looking for the following equipment for birdwatchers (used, but in good condition and fully functional):

  • binoculars
  • spotting scopes
  • tripods and tripod heads

Please send your donation to one of the following addresses:

Swiss Ornithological Institute
Binoculars4charity
Tobias Lötscher
Seerose 1
CH-6204 Sempach
Switzerland
BirdLife Switzerland
Binoculars4charity
Wiedingstr. 78
CH-8045 Zurich

Alternatively, you may hand over your donations at the following collection points:

  • visitor centre of the Swiss Ornithological Institute, Sempach
  • office of BirdLife Switzerland 
  • office of the Association de la Grande Cariçaie (next to Pro Natura Center Champ-Pittet) 

If you prefer, we are happy to pick up material at your place. Please contact us.

If possible, we will give you feedback on which organisation your donations will be shared with.

Monetary donations

Monetary donations are very welcome! We need them to finance the shipping of optical devices all over the world. Any surpluses are used to buy additional material for the supported organisations, especially bird identification books. In addition, of course, some administrative costs for the association's work incur, but we keep them to a minimum.

Please transfer your donation to the following bank account:

IBAN: CH44 0070 0114 8023 9057 0
