Ernst-Wilhelm-Sachs-Stiftung
About the funder
The Ernst-Wilhelm-Sachs Foundation is dedicated to the financial support of children in need who are facing special life circumstances. The focus is particularly on funding necessary surgeries, treatments, and therapies for sick children, as well as promoting medical research at German universities aimed at developing new treatment methods for previously incurable diseases. Every request for financial assistance is personally reviewed by the founder to ensure that the funds are directed precisely where they are most urgently needed. Dolphin therapies are not supported due to lack of proven effectiveness and animal welfare concerns.
