In principle, a change of the foundation purpose is not provided for. However, if the foundation deed provides for a change in purpose, the foundation purpose may be changed under certain conditions at the request of the founder or the foundation board (art. 86a CC). Furthermore, the foundation purpose may be changed if this is urgently required for the preservation of the assets or the maintenance of the foundation purpose (art. 85 CC) or if the foundation purpose has obviously been alienated from the will of the founder (art. 86 CC).
