How is fundraising changing, and what role will it play in the future of culture? At the Cultural Fundraising Conference 2026 at the Kunsthaus in Zurich, we explore questions that many cultural organisations are grappling with: How can private donors, foundations and companies be engaged long-term? How does fundraising become a shared responsibility across an institution? And how does culture remain worthy of support in a changing society? Insights from practice will be shared by: Ann Demeester, Director Kunsthaus Zürich Elke Wiebalck, Cornelia Roos and Lisa Tescher from Kunsthaus Zürich Simone Staehelin from Basel Symphony Orchestra From fundraising to co-creation? Prof. Dr. Leticia Labaronne, Dr. Seraina Rohrer, Dr. Donald Tillmann and Regula Frei will discuss this on the podium. The conference offers an opportunity to exchange experiences, discuss questions and make contacts. At the subsequent apéro, there will be time for personal conversations.
