idea
Inheritance Percentage Culture is committed to ensuring that people bequeath 1% of their estate to culture in the form of an inheritance promise. After death, this “inheritance percentage” is used to promote culture. Anyone who wants to keep their promise during their lifetime can do so in the form of a deduction , in the legal sense of a donation. The inheritance promise supplements an existing will; but this is not a requirement. Like any testamentary disposition, the inheritance promise can be revoked. The foundation operates throughout Switzerland, has a non-profit character and does not pursue any financial profit-making purpose.
