Governance

The ella fund is a donor-advised philanthropy fund sheltered by the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation. The Swiss Philanthropy Foundation is an independent hosting foundation based in Geneva whose mission is to encourage charitable giving by creating and managing philanthropic funds.
 
The ella fund is governed by a Steering Committee comprising  our founder Erin Gainer and family members Kelly Gainer Zegger and Shauna Dorsey, and a member of the Board of the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation, currently represented by its Chairman Etienne Eichenberger. Decisions on the orientation of the fund and project investments are taken upon the unanimous approval of the members of the Steering Committee.
