Von Effinger Stiftung

What Von Effinger Stiftung does

Von Effinger Stiftung is a Swiss private charitable foundation established on 14 February 1911 by Julie von Effinger at Schloss Wildegg, headquartered in Gontenschwil, Canton Aargau. Its founding mission was to combat alcoholism and contribute to the social elevation of affected individuals, and it has operated continuously for over 110 years. Today it runs an integrated continuum of addiction treatment and rehabilitation services through three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Klinik Im Hasel AG (physician-led inpatient facility for substance and trauma-related disorders), Effingerhort AG (the oldest inpatient addiction therapy facility in Canton Aargau, including the Rehahaus residential rehabilitation facility), and IZ Integrationszentrum AG (supported housing and professional/social reintegration in and around Aarau). Additional facilities include the Ambulatorium Lenzburg outpatient clinic and the Tagesklinik Lenzburg day clinic opened in 2014.

The foundation's service portfolio spans low-threshold outpatient assessments, day treatment, inpatient residential therapy, and supported reintegration, allowing patients to progress from diagnosis through multiple therapy modalities to self-help and independent living. Care delivery is human-led by medical and psychological specialists, with no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capabilities disclosed; the foundation's technology footprint is limited to standard web infrastructure (SSL, Webflow CMS, AWS hosting, Google Maps and Fonts, Adobe Fonts). Customer segments are individuals with addiction disorders, their families and relatives, and public authorities/employers seeking addiction-related consultation.

The revenue model is a professional services structure funded through Swiss health insurance reimbursements for clinical services, supplemented by donations accepted through a dedicated account. Patient intake occurs via a managed entry system (phone or electronic referral form), and the foundation actively recruits staff through a dedicated portal that accepts spontaneous applications. The foundation does not disclose revenue, headcount, or detailed pricing. It publishes annual reports continuously from at least 2003 through 2025, marking its 100-year anniversary in 2011 with a commemorative publication.
