Klaus Höchstetter-Stiftung

The Klaus Höchstetter Foundation is a legal public foundation under civil law based in Munich. It was established in 2004 by the Munich lawyer Dr. Klaus Höchstetter. The foundation exclusively pursues charitable and benevolent purposes and is recognized as a nonprofit organization by the Munich tax office. It is financed through donations, endowments, and private contributions. Its goal is to promote democratic and Christian-humanistic values, personal development, and support for young people in education, research, sports, and social projects. This includes scholarship programs, summer camps, educational workshops, and the promotion of international understanding.

The Klaus Höchstetter Foundation is committed to fostering the potential of young people, developing talents, and creating opportunities. Based on democratic and Christian-humanistic core values, it supports both gifted and high-achieving pupils and students as well as young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. Through sustainable support measures and collaborative project work, it aims to enable personal development, strengthen social participation, and promote international understanding in the European and global context.

The funding programs of the Klaus Höchstetter Foundation are aimed at children, adolescents, and young adults in Germany and beyond. This includes particularly gifted and deserving pupils as well as students of renowned universities (e.g., Cambridge, Oxford, MIT), young talents in science, politics, and technology, as well as youths whose development is hindered by economic or social disadvantages. Support is provided to both individuals and groups who demonstrate commitment, willingness to perform, and the desire to contribute to societal development.
