Heinz Trox-Stiftung

The Heinz Trox Foundation is a non-profit private foundation based in Neukirchen-Vluyn (North Rhine-Westphalia). It provides ongoing support for projects in the fields of education, science, as well as social and cultural engagement. The foundation's capital originates from the life's work of engineer and entrepreneur Heinz Trox and enables an independent, long-term allocation of funding.

"The human being is the measure and their well-being our goal." This guiding principle has shaped the actions of the Heinz Trox Foundation since its inception. Its mission is to transform knowledge into impact by translating scientific findings into practice, strengthening education, and making social commitment visible. Sustainability, partnership, transparency, and responsibility form the guiding principles of its funding activities.

The funding programs of the Heinz Trox Foundation are aimed at institutions and initiatives in the fields of education (ranging from daycare centers and schools to universities and adult education), research institutions and early-career researchers with practical relevance, as well as non-profit organizations in the areas of youth welfare, elderly care, arts and culture, sports, and social welfare. It supports individuals and groups seeking to implement innovative and sustainable projects to improve learning and living environments.
