Bernardine und Raimund Bätge-Stiftung

The Bernardine and Raimund Bätge Foundation is a non-profit and charitable foundation based in Neuss, established in March 2007 by Raimund Bätge from the estate of his wife Bernardine Bätge. According to its statutes, the foundation supports people in need through no fault of their own in Krefeld and the surrounding area, with a particular focus on child, youth, and elderly welfare as well as social services. Funding is provided exclusively to tax-privileged entities (e.g., non-profit associations) with projects that serve these purposes.

The Bernardine and Raimund Bätge Foundation aims to pass on the happiness experienced in life to people who have lost it through no fault of their own. It alleviates emergencies of all kinds – from serious illnesses and accidents to social hardships – with a focus on assistance for children. When supporting adults, the principles of help for self-help apply. Funding is provided exclusively in Krefeld and the surrounding area.

Eligible to apply are tax-privileged corporations (e.g., non-profit associations or public law corporations) based in Krefeld and the surrounding area. Projects are funded in the areas of youth and elderly care, welfare, and charitable purposes that support people who have fallen into hardship through no fault of their own – primarily children – either directly or through appropriate institutions.
