About Swiss Benevolent Society of New York

The Swiss Benevolent Society of New York (the “SBS”) is the oldest charitable Swiss organization in the United States. Founded in 1832 and formally organized in 1846, it has continued to function without interruption to the present day, always responding to the socioeconomic changes of the times. The SBS strives to help our fellow Swiss to live as independently and well as they are able to through social service and scholarship. Social Service remains the heart of the Society. Our doors are always open to our fellow Swiss who experience difficulties. All information remains strictly confidential. Our services are available free of charge to both members and non-members. The SBS awards Scholarships and grants on the basis of merit for education above the high school level. Since the inception of our various scholarships and grants, their assistance has made a tremendous difference in the lives of many Swiss Americans and their families. In addition, the SBS organizes social events and serves as an information center for the Swiss community in the greater New York area. We also provide administrative services for the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce and The Swiss Society of New York.
