About the funder

Since its founding on November 23, 1989, the Barsinghausen Citizens' Foundation has developed into a solid pillar within the social fabric of Barsinghausen. Initiated by Siegfried Hähling with a founding capital of 50,000 DM, the foundation today has capital exceeding €1.2 million and supports people in financial distress as well as civic engagement in an unbureaucratic manner. The board and foundation council work on a voluntary basis; there are no administrative costs – every donated euro goes directly to the foundation’s purposes.
