The Dachverband Schweizerischer Gemeinnütziger Frauen (SGF, "Umbrella organization of Swiss women in charitable work") formerly known as Schweizerischen Gemeinnützigen Frauenverein (SGF, "Swiss Charitable Women's Association"), is a women's organization in Switzerland, founded in 1888. As of 2021, it has approximately 30,000 members organized in 136 affiliated associations.
The organization became the first permanent, national umbrella organization for the Swiss women's movement, networking charitable women's organizations from German-speaking and Romansh-speaking regions of Switzerland. The SGF has historically focused on the professionalization of women's work in areas such as housework, health care, and gardening, while also serving as a liaison body with political authorities on welfare and educational issues.
