American Swiss Foundation

The Honorable Mercer Reynolds III Chairman of the American Swiss Foundation.

Created in 1945, the New York-based American Swiss Foundation seeks to preserve and strengthen the historic friendship between the United States and Switzerland on a person-to-person basis.

A private, non-profit organization, the Foundation traditionally focuses on developing and managing various activities of its own, both in the U.S. and Switzerland, rather than serving as a funding source for outside programs.

Foundation programs include an Annual Young Leaders Conference in Switzerland, an Annual Dinner in New York featuring a national or international keynote speaker, and discussion events held in various U.S. locations and in Switzerland.
