Freiburger Bürgerstiftung
About the funder
The Freiburger Bürgerstiftung is a non-profit citizen foundation established in 2006 and based in Freiburg. It consolidates financial commitment (founders and donors) as well as voluntary engagement (time donors) to initiate, operate, and support projects in the fields of social affairs, education, culture, and ecology. The capital built up through endowments and donations remains untouchable but uses its returns to support charitable initiatives in Freiburg and the surrounding communities. The foundation sees itself as a platform for civic engagement as well as for democratic, social, and sustainable urban development.
