Legacies and bequests

For Rega, legacies and bequests have played a major role since it commenced operations in 1952. They are not only important for our independent funding, but are also a valuable expression of confidence. We are proud and thankful that our work is held in such great regard.

A will - or a testamentary contract - allows you to regulate and clarify the most important issues relating to your estate while you are still alive. It ensures that after your death your last wishes are respected, and also gives your survivors the certainty that they are acting in your spirit. Quite independent of your financial situation, you can stipulate within the framework of the law exactly what should happen to your estate on your death.

An increasing number of people not only want to ensure that their next-of-kin are financially well provided for, but would also like to support the work of a non-profit organisation. By leaving a legacy or bequest to Swiss Air-Rescue Rega in your will, you can continue to help people after your death.

Rega is a member of the My Happy End Association

Around half of the Swiss population die without leaving a will. Often, people are not consciously aware of the possibility of considering non-profit organisations in their will. For this reason, 16 non-profit organisations have joined forces to form the association, "My Happy End". By means of a joint campaign and a TV spot, the association aims to encourage discussion of this subject and heighten public awareness of the possibility of making testamentary gifts to non-profit organisations such as Rega.

This TV spot was produced jointly to show in a memorable way that countless people and animals can be helped with a legacy donation. The spot shows people arriving at the graveside to thank the donor and pay their last respects. There are so many of them that they form a devout crowd of donation recipients.
