As soon as you have created your project, you can edit it. If you are not yet in the editing screen, click on 'Projects' in the menu on the left and then select the project you want to edit. The project portrait information is bundled into the following tiles:

  • First steps

  • Project story

  • Further information

  • Collect donations on the donation platform

  • Cover picture

  • Video

  • Attachments

On the right-hand side of each tile you can see how much information you have already filled in. Click on a tile to edit the information. Adjust the information and click on 'Save' to save your changes. All information on the 'First steps' and 'Project story' tiles is mandatory. You must therefore complete all fields in these two tiles in order to publish your project.

Edit Donation Portrait

As a Swiss non-profit with access from Starter, you can collect donations online on the StiftungSchweiz donation platform if your organization is tax-exempt. The information you have entered in the various tiles of the portrait on the foundation platform is automatically transferred to the portrait on the donation platform. As funding organizations and private donors are often approached differently, the 'Collect donations on the donation platform' tile gives you the option of entering an appeal for donations, a different cover image to the one on the foundation platform and uploading additional images and videos. To save your details, click on 'Save' here too.

Upload Pictures

If you want to upload a picture for your portrait, always pay attention to the specified dimensions. Only the additional images that you can upload to the donation platform do not have to be a specific size. Also make sure that your image is no larger than 2 MB. To upload an image, click on 'Upload' or 'Cover image on the donation platform' and then on 'Select image'. Select the desired image from your files and then select the desired image section. To do this, drag the blue rectangle. When the desired image section is in the blue rectangle, click on 'Crop' to save the image.

Upload Videos

To be able to upload a video to your portrait, the video must already be published on a video platform. Please note that the video must be set to public and not private. Then copy the URL of the video from the video platform, paste it into the input field on stiftungschweiz.ch and click on 'Save' or 'Crop' to save the video.

View of the Organization Portrait

To see what the portrait looks like, click on 'Show project portrait' above the tiles on the right. The portrait will be displayed on the foundation platform. To edit your portrait further, click on 'Edit project' on the portrait.

If your organization is also published on the donation platform, you can view the portrait there by clicking on 'Show donation portrait'. If you then want to make any adjustments to the portrait, you need to go back to the foundation platform (URL with stiftungen.stiftungschweiz instead of spenden.stiftungschweiz). There you can then adjust the desired details in the editing menu.
