The Karg Foundation primarily directs its funding programs towards gifted children and adolescents in early childhood education centers, schools, and counseling centers. In addition, professionals and institutions in the education sector are trained and networked to establish sustainable structures for talent development and to support potential-oriented learning environments nationwide.
