Gemeinnützige Stiftung Gabriel
About the funder
The Gemeinnützige Stiftung Gabriel was founded by a parents' initiative aiming to create life and work opportunities for their own disabled children. It is the sole sponsor of Gabriel gGmbH in Hamburg and the majority shareholder (94%) of Louisenhof gGmbH in Schwarzenbek (Schleswig-Holstein). Both companies operate social-therapeutic work, residential, cultural, and leisure projects as well as day care centers and support services for people with disabilities. Furthermore, the foundation conducts its own projects for orphaned or socially disadvantaged children and adolescents with disabilities and serves as a funding foundation for acquiring public donations. The foundation operates within the diaconal-missionary mandate of the Gospel and is a member of the Diakonisches Werk Hamburg.

Mission & Vision
"Future and security for people with disabilities" forms the binding foundation for the work of the Gabriel Foundation. It sees its mission in recognizing the individual and societal needs of disabled people of all ages, guaranteeing them support, protection, and participation, and leading them together with their communities resource-oriented into the future. A Christian-humanistic worldview places human dignity at the center and promotes dialogical, appreciative communication on an equal footing.
Target groups
The funding and program offerings are aimed at children with disabilities and those at risk of disability, particularly children orphaned by parents or social circumstances; adult people with disabilities who require housing, employment, cultural, and educational services; as well as institutions and organizations (especially Gabriel gGmbH and Louisenhof gGmbH) that implement social and therapeutic projects for people with disabilities.
