Bischöfliche Stiftung Gemeinsam für das Leben

The Episcopal Foundation Together for Life was established in 2001 by Bishop Dr. Josef Homeyer to promote a "new culture of life." With an endowment of €2.7 million and fiduciary administration by the Episcopal General Vicariate of Hildesheim, it supports initiatives and projects dedicated to the protection and dignity of human life at all stages. This includes the protection of unborn life, the support of the disadvantaged and vulnerable, as well as care for the elderly and dying. The public law foundation is a member of the Association of German Foundations. The approval of funding is the responsibility of the Foundation Advisory Board.

The Episcopal Foundation Together for Life aims to promote a solidarity-based "culture of life" and to encourage people to engage in awareness-raising activities. It initiates new or exemplary projects that place the value of every human life at the center and ensure protection and dignity in all stages of life.

Church congregations, ecclesiastical organizations, and initiative groups within the Diocese of Hildesheim that are committed to the church’s concept of engagement for a "culture of life" are supported. Applications for individual case assistance must be submitted by a church congregation or ecclesiastical institution.
