This article analyses the role of non‐profit organisations in the construction of the modern Swiss welfare system. It is shown that the non‐profit organisations shifted from a substitutive role (with a traditional society orientation) towards a complementary role (with more state‐orientated strategies). Our main argument is that this evolution is marked by the environment of the non‐profit organisations, in particular the political opportunities. More precisely, whereas the liberal state of the nineteenth century only intervened when civil society failed in solving its problems according to the principle of subsidiarity, the modern welfare state incites civil society to deal with the problem
