Welcome to the American Swiss Foundation!
Created in 1945, the Foundation seeks to preserve and strengthen the historic friendship between the United States and Switzerland on a person-to-person basis.
Our 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.
A private, non-profit organization, the Foundation is chaired by The Honorable Mercer Reynolds , a former U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland, and directed by Patricia Schramm, President. The Foundation focuses on developing and managing various activities of its own, rather than serving as a funding source for outside programs.
