The Swiss Benevolent Society of New York, founded in 1832, is the most significant charitable organization in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut Tri-State area.

We are a registered public 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit and non-religious organization and have helped individuals, families and our Swiss community achieve positive change for more than 190 years.  To learn more visit our History page.

The SBS receives no government support, either Swiss or American.  Our funding comes from the generosity of our donors and supporters. Visit our sponsoring page for more details.
