From 2015 till 2017, Swiss Volunteers was run by SwissTopSport. Thereafter, since 2017, the volunteers’ platform has operated as an independent non-profit organisation but continues to work closely together with SwissTopSport.

SwissTopSport combines 20 of the biggest sporting events which take place annually in Switzerland and are among the best in the world in their sporting disciplines. The events from 13 different kinds of sport receive a great deal of attention both nationally and internationally.

Year after year, the 20 SwissTopSport events make considerable contributions to sport, society, the economy and the image of the country and the regions. Owing to the sporting excellence,  enthusiasm, economic significance, tradition, quality and sustainability and thanks to their high profile in the media, they achieve remarkable things.

Swiss Olympic is the umbrella organisation of Swiss sport and the National Olympic Committee of Switzerland.

Swiss Volunteers has been a partner organisation of Swiss Olympic since 2022.

The Lottery Fund of the Canton of Bern has supported Swiss Volunteers with a contribution for the development of the new volunteer management platform.

The Swisslos Intercantonal National Lottery - founded in 1937 - is a cooperative. Cooperative members and thus also owners and principals are the cantons of German-speaking Switzerland and the canton of Ticino. Since 1968, Swisslos has also been conducting lotteries and sports betting in the Principality of Liechtenstein on the basis of a contract.

Since its founding in 1810, the Swiss Society for the Common Good (SSCG) has been committed to the cohesion of a society based on solidarity in Switzerland. In the 19th century, the SSCG helped build the state's education, health and social welfare systems. In the 20th century, it founded several civil society umbrella organisations. At the beginning of the 21st century, the SSCG coordinated the initiative to establish a national solidarity foundation.
