Futura-Stiftung für Kind, Jugend und Kultur

The Futura Foundation for Child, Youth, and Culture is a non-profit private foundation under civil law, established in 2003 by the Behn family. The foundation is based in Hamburg and supports projects worldwide aimed at promoting education and health for children and adolescents. A special focus is placed on projects for young people who have little or no access to educational institutions. Furthermore, the foundation supports existing organizations in disaster relief efforts. Funding is provided in the form of financial grants and is limited to a maximum duration of three years. Private individuals are not directly considered; support is exclusively directed towards non-profit organizations whose projects align with the foundation’s objectives.

The Futura Foundation is committed to sustainably improving the future conditions for children and youth, as they represent the future of our society. The foundation believes that young people, as the most vulnerable members of society, are often unable to change or improve their situation on their own. Therefore, the foundation's goal is to enhance the living conditions of these young people through targeted support in the fields of education and health, as well as through assistance in disaster relief.

The target group of the Futura Foundation includes non-profit organizations that carry out projects in the fields of child and youth welfare, education, public and vocational training, healthcare, and disaster relief. The foundation particularly supports projects that assist children and young people who have no or only limited access to educational institutions. The support is aimed at organizations both domestically and abroad that contribute through their work to improving the living conditions of children and young people.
