Giving Back to the Community

For over 70 years, ZEST has been proud to support local and international causes through our charitable donations. As a  volunteer-run organization, we believe in using our passion for theatre to make a positive impact beyond the stage. To date, we have donated over CHF350,000 to various charities in Switzerland and worldwide, with over CHF100,000 contributed in the last ten years alone.

Our donations are made possible by the dedication of our members, who nominate and vote for the organizations we support. We are especially proud to partner with charities that our members are connected to.
