Percival Foundation

What Percival Foundation does

Fondation Perceval is a Swiss nonprofit foundation (established 1967) headquartered in St-Prex, Canton de Vaud, that delivers a fully integrated portfolio of care, education, housing, vocational, and therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities. The foundation is organized into three operating sectors — Children & Adolescents (specialized school, residential housing, day care, adolescent workshops), Adults (day centers, residential housing, support in ordinary environment, young adult training), and Health & Therapeutics (medical-nursing service plus nine therapeutic modalities including art, music, speech, psychomotor, and horse therapy). It operates 18 residential living locations, accommodates 130+ internal residents and 100+ students, and employs 450+ collaborators across 35 professional disciplines.

Its core "technology" is human-delivered multidisciplinary care — educators, nurses, therapists, and social workers coordinated across facilities — rather than software or hardware. Revenue flows through managed-services contracts with the Canton de Vaud government and AI (Assurance Invalidité) social-insurance funding on a per-beneficiary basis, supplemented by donations; commercial pricing is not applicable given the government-mandated placement process routed through Ospes. Service delivery is direct and institution-anchored, with no commercial go-to-market motion, no resellers, and no app or digital product layer. Geographic scope is concentrated in Canton de Vaud with adjacent references to Western Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Pro Infirmis: A large national Swiss nonprofit serving people with disabilities across all cantons through counseling, accessibility services, and advocacy. While broader in scope than Percival, it is a comparable incumbent in the same Swiss disability services ecosystem.
• Inclusion Handicap: The national umbrella association for Swiss disability organizations, including direct service providers like Percival. Comparable as the principal coordinating body for the Swiss disability services sector in which Percival operates.

Direct peers

• Stiftung Rossfeld: A Swiss foundation in Bern operating residential schools and vocational programs for children and young people with disabilities. Comparable focus on special education, residential care, and integration into working life aligns closely with Percival's Children & Adolescents sector.
• Stiftung Brühl: A Swiss foundation in Solothurn offering residential homes, day programs, and supported employment for adults with disabilities. Its combination of residential and workshop services mirrors Percival's Adults sector structure.
• Stiftung Arkadis: A Swiss foundation in Aargau providing residential housing, day centers, and supported employment for adults with disabilities. Comparable multi-modal disability services delivery model and government-funded operating structure.
• Fondation de Lavigny: A Swiss disability services foundation, also based in the canton of Vaud, providing residential care, day programs, schools, and therapeutic services for children and adults with disabilities. Operating in the same canton with a comparable service portfolio makes it one of the closest structural peers to Percival Foundation.

Emerging players

Comparable as a complementary ecosystem player supporting the same beneficiary population Percival serves, particularly in physical and psychomotor therapy areas.
• Cerebral Schweiz: A Swiss national organization supporting people with cerebral palsy and similar disabilities through services, advocacy, and family support. Overlaps with a specific subsegment of Percival's beneficiary population, particularly those served by the polyhandicap facility.
