Zurich · Pitch Deck 2026
Bar4Good
The slightly different non-profit.
Big hearts, bold ideas, real impact — we shake things up for good!
The vision & goals.
Who we are, what drives us, and why a simple bar tab can become a surprisingly powerful form of development aid.
In a nutshell
We raise funds in a cool way. For many children it means the world.
Bar4Good runs pop-up bars and team events in Switzerland, primarily Zurich. Every franc raised through events, memberships and donations goes into projects for children living in extreme poverty.
You get
A night worth remembering — or a team event people still talk about months later.
They get
Rackets, friendship and confidence — opening doors to a brighter future.
A fantastic win-win.
Heritage
Thirty years in the making.

The mechanic
We build the bridge.
Traditional giving can feel abstract. Bar4Good makes it tangible: we create experiences people want to be part of, then convert the funds into meaningful impact.
True story
One bar tab.
100+ laughing children.
At a WUNDER-Bar event our friend Antonios voluntarily paid CHF 100 for his drinks. We turned it into badminton rackets for children in Bangladesh — one of them reached Rina*, a 15-year-old from Muktagacha who had withdrawn after a difficult experience. Her mother later said she had not seen her daughter this happy in a very long time.

ZURICH · THE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NON-PROFIT
THANK YOU — A FANTASTIC WIN-WIN
Illustrative conversion, based on our 2026 Bangladesh racket programme. Equipment is shared, so one racket puts several children on court.
* Name changed to protect her privacy.
Impact strategy
Few projects. Deep roots. A long multiplier.
Anchor
Flagship projects
We invest a meaningful share of our funds and time in a few long-term programmes rather than spreading ourselves thin.
Multiply
Role models
We develop local coaches, providing training and income, then regular online coaching — helping them prosper while empowering children.
Impact & reach
Inspiration to many more
Their success inspires other communities, where we then fund larger projects combining sport and education.
We are not buying equipment; we are buying a multiplier that keeps running long after our franc is spent.
Why racket sport
Racket sports make progress visible.
Example for proof of scale
4.7 million (160 countries)
School children reached by the BWF's Shuttle Time programme with a 22-lesson plan, instructional videos and teacher/tutor training.
BWF's Shuttle Time programme: school › provide coaching material › train teachers
Our edge
Deep knowledge across almost every racket discipline, with people motivated to coach others.
Bar4Good programme: community/school › hire and train local coaches › develop flagship projects › ongoing coaching & support for flagship projects › create role models › multiply impact and build and sponsor larger long-term sport & education projects
Strategic goals
Three horizons to increase the impact.
The formats.
Fine drinks, racket sports, great people — and a few surprisingly effective ways to turn a good time into something that matters.
Our three house bars
Three bars. One heart.
WUNDER-Bar
@ workplace after-hours
Our growing after-work pop-up, every four months. Members choose what they pay — and are remarkably generous.
GC Sports Bar
@ Grasshopper Club Zurich
A regular favourite at GC Squash, open to every section of the club. World-class drinks for world-class sport.
O-BAR-Rieden
@ home in Oberrieden ZH
The one and only pop-up bar in Oberrieden, the best place on Lake Zurich. From village festivals to the Chilbi.
Team events
Great offsites. Double the impact.
Your team event budget works wonders twice — a great experience for your team, and many more wonderful moments for the children we support.
Private pop-up bar
We bring the bar to you — office, garden, warehouse. Shakers, mocktails and a team that has done this before.
Bar & sports
Squash, badminton, street racket or table tennis first, drinks straight after. Not simultaneously.
Team day
A properly facilitated day — comfort zones, iceberg models, the whole toolkit — with a bar waiting at the end.
What is actually in the glass
Serious drinks. Zero snobbery.
Signature drinks
The GC Sports Bar has its legendary Whiskey Sour; at WUNDER-Bar the Cosmopolitan comes dressed in corporate colours.
Mocktails, always
Not an afterthought and not a sad orange juice. Same care, same glass, same price bracket — because everyone stays.
Milkshakes & sandwiches
At the Chilbi we do milkshakes. At the GC Sports Bar there is the “Best Sandwich in Town” initiative. Both defensible.
A playlist per bar
Each bar has its own published playlist. Yes, we argue about them. No, we have not resolved it.
Every franc of margin walks out towards children.
Activities 2026
Bars & more.
The donors & partners.
What your money buys, where it goes, and what you get back besides a warm feeling and a very good drink.

The Diamond seat
A single Diamond membership covers a full year of our flagship-project investment target — and comes with a seat on the Advisory Board, where you help decide where the money goes.
Cheers.
Big hearts, bold ideas, real impact — we shake things up for good!
Slides 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 14 and 17 have controls of their own — chapters to open, a live bar-tab receipt, horizon tabs, category filters and a membership calculator.
