Mission & Vision

The Kämpgen Foundation is committed to the inclusion and improvement of the quality of life of people with disabilities. Its goal is to enable their full participation in all areas of life and social processes and to promote as independent a lifestyle as possible. In doing so, the foundation supports both long-term projects and time-limited funding programs that respond to current social policy developments.

Target groups

Social institutions and projects of recognized independent non-profit organizations, especially from the greater Cologne/NRW area, that are committed to people with intellectual, physical, psychological, or sensory disabilities are supported. Direct beneficiaries are children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities, as well as organizations that promote their participation, education, mobility, care, and integration into society.
