The GGG, the Society for the good and the public benefit is a child of the age of enlightment. It was founded in 1777 by Isaak Iselin und other farseeing Basel citizens. The objective of the society was formulated in the original statues as follows: "The promotion, cheering up and spreading of everything good, laudable, in the public benefit, everything which can raise the happiness of the citizen and actually of man, has the right to attention of the society."
Of course, the wording sounds rather antiquated, but the inherent meaning stays valid. The GGG deliberately adapts time and again its historical objective to the changing needs of the society and keeps this way abreast of modern times. The GGG is active in Basel through its many incorporated organisations.
The GGG sets up social and cultural institutions for the public weal by the motto "Help for self-help" or supports third party initiatives or institutions with similar objectives.
