The legal form decides half the programme list

Non-profit projects are funded above all project by project: by municipalities, cantons, foundations and programmes for social innovation. Almost everything hangs on two things – recognised non-profit status and a cleanly defined project with a goal, a period and a budget. Ongoing structural costs are rarely eligible.
