Thank you for your support to help more than 5 entrepreneurs!!
Thank you for your support to help more than 5 entrepreneurs!!

We are very thankful to you for your support and trust in us. We are thrilled to inform you that due to your donations, we have been able to reach our first goal! That is, we have successfully raised funds for scholarships for 5 refugee/ migrant entrepreneurs. You have given us the confidence to extend this support to 3 more refugees, and that is why now we have a stretch goal to reach 48,000 CHF.

Here is how you can help us reach there:

  • Donate again, it’s, after all, a Christmas-giving time ;)
  • Share the project in your closed and extended circles, your social network channels, and in your professional network
  • Check out our rewards and treat yourself or your company to a masterclass or training (or meeting with the team). You can also get our surprise goodie bags or a great Zurich experience from one of our entrepreneurs.

Thank you again for your continued support!

With love Capacity Team

Dear All,

Thank you for trusting and supporting us! Together, we have reached beyond the first goal of supporting 1 refugee/ migrant entrepreneur with the 9700+ CHF raised. But the goal is still big - we aim to reach 30000 CHF i.e. support for 5 entrepreneurs! We are determined to do this and together, we can make it!!

Your support will help us create many new stories-of-change, like those so beautifully portrayed by Jenny Milow and Fabiana Seitz on our website, which highlights the CAPACITY EFFECT! You can read them here: https://www.capacityzurich.ch/home/storiesofchange/

Here is how you can help us further to reach the milestone in the next 20 days!

  • Share this message with your circles (professional and family/friends)
  • Invite your friends and family to join us for our online «Pitching a Dream» event taking place Saturday, November 28 @ 17:00 (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pitching-a-dream-boost-refugee-migrant-entrepreneurship-ceremony-tickets-126307275461)

Many thanks again! Team Capacity


Thema: Mehr als 1 Unternehmer unterstützt, wow! So kommen wir zu 5…

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen und Ihre Unterstützung! Gemeinsam haben wir das erste Ziel, 1 Flüchtlings-/Migrantenunternehmer zu unterstützen, mit den über 9700 CHF erreicht. Aber das Ziel ist immer noch gross - wir streben 30000 CHF an, d.h. die Unterstützung von 5 Unternehmern! Wir sind entschlossen, dies zu erreichen, und gemeinsam können wir es schaffen!

Ihre Unterstützung wird uns helfen, viele neue Geschichten des Wandels zu schaffen, wie die von Jenny Milow und Fabiana Seitz auf unserer Website so schön geschilderten, die den «Capacity Effekt» hervorheben!

Sie können sie hier lesen: https://www.capacityzurich.ch/home/storiesofchange/
