FAP at a glance

The Foundation for Aid to Reformed Protestantism (FAP) was established on 7 May 1979 through a generous donation. Rev. Dr Edmond Perret, general secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC), now known as the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC), was one of the first members of its Board. FAP is registered in the Commercial Register and is subject to oversight by the Swiss Federal Supervisory Authority for Foundations (FSAF). Its headquarters are located in Geneva, at the World Council of Churches (WCC).

FAP has the resources required to fulfill its mission: addressing the needs expressed by Reformed churches worldwide and supporting the success of their projects. The Foundation is independent yet strongly connected to the churches and their institutions.

The main beneficiaries of FAP are the member churches of the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC) and their institutions, as well as the Reformed member churches of the World Council of Churches (WCC). FAP works in close collaboration with these two organizations, as well as with agencies involved in inter-church aid, both within Switzerland and abroad. To date, FAP has supported over a thousand projects.

Deeply rooted in Switzerland, where its headquarters are located, FAP is dedicated to promoting and supporting Reformed Protestantism, while also fostering ecumenical and international collaboration.
