Mission & Vision
The Hubertus Scheurer Foundation aims to continue the will of its founder and to do good for society. It supports selected literary projects and poets as well as individuals and institutions reliant on third-party assistance. The foundation places great importance on independence, transparency, and targeted, needs-based support.
Target groups
The foundation supports, on the one hand, poets and institutions from the literary field who work on the creation, preservation, or dissemination of lyrical works. On the other hand, the foundation is aimed at individuals in demonstrable distress as well as institutions (e.g., associations, universities, or companies) that are urgently in need of assistance and whose concerns align with the foundation's objectives.
