Jörg Bernards-Stiftung
About the funder
The Jörg Bernards Foundation was established in 2007 by Marianne and Helmut Bernards in memory of their son Jörg, who passed away in 2002 at the age of 37 from a brain tumor. The non-profit foundation is based in Cologne. It is financed through rental income from a multi-family house contributed to the foundation’s capital, as well as through donations, and directs all funds 100% without deduction of administrative costs to research projects. The foundation’s goal is to promote innovative, minimally invasive, image-guided stereotactic neurosurgery to improve the chances of recovery and quality of life for patients with brain tumors and neurological diseases.
